PLAY

) for half a second to save. After you save your start/end points, playing the sample will be

limited to within those points, no matter how you set the

Start Pos

and

Length

knobs. You can always

clear your loop points by holding

Edit

and spinning the

Scrub Start

knob rapidly to the left a handful of

times, and then the

Scrub End

knob rapidly to the right a handful of times.

Saving and Reverting

Any changes you make using the Edit functions must be saved if you want to see
these changes the next time you power the STS on. To save, hold down

Edit

Save

(left side

PLAY

) for half a second. Release the buttons when you see the lights

change.

Undo changes to one sample

If you want to undo the changes you just made to a sample, hold down

Edit

Revert

(left side

Reverse

) for half a second. This will revert the currently

selected sample.

Revert one bank

If you want to revert a whole bank back to the last saved version, hold
down

Edit

Revert

and the

Bank

button for that channel for two seconds.

This will revert the currently selected bank to the last saved version.

Revert all banks

If you want to revert everything back to the last saved version,
hold down

Edit

Revert

(left side

Reverse

) and both

Bank

buttons

for four seconds. This will revert the STS to the state it was when

you last powered on (this is the same as flipping the power on

and off, but it’s much safer!)

Copying

You can copy a sample from one bank to another. Copying doesn’t actually copy the

file on the microSD card, it just assigns the file to multiple sample slots. It also

copies the gain, and loop/trim points, but you can edit the gain or loop/trim points

on each copy independently.

To perform a copy:

1. On the left side, go to the sample/bank you want to copy from.

2. On the right side, select the bank and sample you want to copy into (whatever sample is in that

slot will no longer be assigned).

3. Hold down

Edit

and

Copy

(right side

PLAY

) for half a second.

Remember, the copy action happens from

the left side to the right side. Whatever is in the right side

before you copy will be bumped out. You have to save your changes after copying if you want them to

appear the next time you power on (see “Saving and Reverting” section above)

Copying is a powerful feature that allows you to create multiple instances of a sample. Example uses:

•

Create a copy of a snare sound and set the

Gain

higher to produce an “accented” version.

•

Copy a sample of a speech, and set the trim points on each copy to grab different words.

•

Copy a sample you like to use a lot, and place the copies in multiple banks for easy access.

•

Create a new bank of samples that are spread out around other banks.

•

Turn one sample into several slices or loops.
