Basic Sampler records a sample and uses the keyboard to play the sample chromatically. Record a sound (up to 2 seconds). Shape the sound in interesting ways with Knobs 2-4.
HOW DO I USE THIS PATCH?
A typical use case would be:
1. Record a sample
2. Set global playback speed (pitch), duration, and envelope to your desired pitch
3. Create a sequence with the keys, overdub it, etc.
4. Revisit the above steps in any order as needed.
To do any of the above steps you will need to use the ‘Aux Menu’. The Aux Button controls the ‘Aux Menu’. When you press Aux for 0.2 seconds, a new menu is displayed on OLED Screen for as long as you hold Aux. To select an Aux Menu command/Page, use the Top Row of Organelle keys. There are 10 possible commands selected by the 10 keys. The low C# key selects Top Left command. The High A# key selects the Bottom Right command. The Command Grid is to be read from top left to bottom, then top right to bottom.
The recording controls are available in the Right Column. There are two commands for this patch: RecIn:Arm and Monitr.
RecIn:Arm - Selecting this command will Record Enable. Recording will start once a noise crosses a threshold. Stop recording by pressing Aux. Max record length is 2 seconds. You can also use a foot switch to Record Enable and stop record. To cancel the Record Enable before recording starts, please press Aux.
Monitr: Toggle the input monitor On/Off. Note: recordings are normalized so the monitor level will probably appear lower in volume than the recorded sample.
The following commands are available on the Aux Menu's Left Column:
Seq:Play/Stop - Plays or Stops selected sequence
Rec:Off/Armd - Controls Keyboard Sequence Recording. When selected, Sequence is first Record Armed (Enabled). LED will be Pink. Sequencer is waiting for knob adjustment, key press or incoming MIDI note. When knob adjusted, key pressed or MIDI Note received, Recording starts. LED is Red. To end recording, press Aux (new seq begins looping immediately). LED will be Green and flash White on quarter note. Sequence length will be quantized to nearest quarter note.
Dub:Off/On – Overdub on top of existing sequence. Counts in 3 Sec before starting recording. To end recording, press Aux and sequence begins looping immediately.
Undo – Reverts Sequence to previous state. If this command says 'Undid' you cannot 'undo' further.
Latch: Off/On - Turn on to keep notes playing after release.
The Bottom Row of keys selects one of 14 Sequence ‘slots’ to record sequences to. Changing sequence slot will change the number that precedes the command in the left column.
______
When the Aux Menu is not visible, the patch page is displayed by default. Use Knobs 1-4 to control these settings:
Knob1: Sample Speed control. Speed shown on screen corresponds to Low 'C' key.
Knob2: Sample Duration (as a percentage of recorded length)
Knob3: Attack Length
Knob4: Decay Length
When recording a sequence, you can record adjustments to the knobs!
Please note that the sample playback settings are only updated before a new sample loop starts. Quick movements in a recorded knob adjustment and/or during a latch might not be heard because the sample is already playing at the settings at time of note press.

If you like a recording sample and/or setting, don’t forget to ‘Save’ in the Storage menu.
