This is manual trigger button for the first channel
This is manual trigger button for the second channel. 

Also, it’s a SHIFT button to access secondary features, 

therefore manual trigger will work in Performance mode 

only
OLED screen gives visual feedback on the module 

functions
SD card slot accepts micro SD cards used for sample 

upload. Observe the orientation of the card
Select between two channels. Two samples can be played 

simultaneously
Six encoders (A-F) change their functions depending on 

the operation mode. Encoder A always is the main 

select/data encoder, clicking encoder D will return to the 

previous menu page 
These are trigger inputs 
These are assignable CV inputs. Each channel has three 

freely assignable CV inputs. CV3 of the second channel is 

used as audio input for sample recording
These are audio outputs of the module

Thank you for purchasing Erica Synths Sample Drum! 

Sample Drum is a part of Erica Synths Techno System, 

but we believe it will find it’s place in any live perfor-

mance system.

Sample Drum is 14HP eurorack sample player module with 

straight-forward, intuitive interface, functionality and great 

sound quality, designed with live performance use in mind. 

It is composed of two identical parts and allows you to play 

back, record and slice up samples or loops directly in your 

modular system. For processing there are different play 

modes, tuning functions (including 1 V/Oct pitch tracking), 

virtual VCAs plus AD envelopes and real-time effects. Three 

freely assignable CV inputs per channel guarantee a lot of 

expression during performance. 16bit mono wav samples 

are loaded into RAM (32MB / ~ 5 minutes of sampling time) 

from SD card (16 GB SD card with factory preset samples 

comes with the module) for instantaneous playback response. 

All settings can be saved and recalled during live performance.
