Record and playback high-resolution audio files with the 4ms DIY Sampler Kit, a high-fidelity two-channel do-it-yourself stereo audio recorder and playback module in Eurorack format. The module can record and play back high-quality stereo WAV files. A maximum of 600 samples can be loaded at one time from the removable microSD card (WAV files with a resolution up to 96 kHz / 32-bit / stereo).

All sample parameters (pitch, sample file selection, length, bank, and start position) are CV controllable, and trigger jacks for play/record and reverse allow for synchronization. The DIY Sampler Kit includes all the components needed to complete the module as well as a black panel.

Full DIY Kit    Beginner Level Kit    2-Channel Stereo Audio Recorder/Playback    Maximum 600 Samples Loaded    WAV Files are Stored on microSD Card    Up to 32-Bit / 96 kHz Recording    Start Position, Bank, Reverse, Play/Rec    Includes microSD Card + Adapter    Includes All Kit Components

• Includes all the parts necessary to build a full-featured Sampler
• Beginner-level kit: Soldering proficiency required
• Tools needed (not included):
  • Soldering iron, solder
  • Flush snips
  • Needlenose pliers (for removing a component if you make a mistake)
  • 5/16" and 3/8” socket driver (optional: pliers will work too if you're careful)
  • Multimeter (for reading resistor values if you don't know the resistor color-code chart)

• The Sampler plays stereo or mono WAV files from an SD card with controls for Pitch (including a 1V/Oct jack), Start Position, and Length.
• A knob and CV jack selects the Sample to play, and the Start Position knob and CV jack control where in the sample playback will begin. The Length knob and CV jack determine how much of the sample is played back: from tiny grains, to percussive hits, to longer loops, or just the entire file.
• Pressing Play or firing a trigger into the Play Trig jack will play the sample. Holding the Play button down for a second will toggle looping.
• There's also a Reverse button, a jack for backward playback, and an End Out jack for synchronizing loops or cascading sample playback with other events.
• If a sample file contains cues (labels or markers), the Start Pos and Length knobs will snap to these cue points.
• To record samples, hold Play and Reverse for two seconds. Press Play again or fire a trigger into the Play/Rec Trig jack to start and stop recording. Each recording will create a new stereo 48 kHz, 24-bit WAV file in the current bank's folder. Recordings can be made as long as your card has capacity—a 256GB card has 18 days of continuous recording (432.9 hours). Audio data is split into maximum 4GB WAV files on the microSD card.
• Samples are arranged into banks by placing WAV files into folders (each folder is a bank). A maximum of 10 samples can be loaded in a bank. There is a maximum of 60 banks (600 samples maximum total).
• Sample files are limited to 4GB each, which is over 6 hours at 44 kHz / 16-bit / stereo

• Hundreds of samples included on microSD card
• Extremely quiet, low-noise and low-jitter design
• Stereo or Mono output
• Play button / trigger jack: Tapping the button or receiving a trigger starts/restarts the sample
• Sample CV/knob: Select which sample within the channel's bank
• Pitch CV and Pitch knob: Play back pitch (-10 to +4 octave range)
• Start Pos CV/knob: Position in the sample to begin playback (loop start point)
• Length CV/knob: Playback time (loop end point)
• Length knob at max: Entire file is played
• Length knob 50 to 99%: 200 ms to 5 sec of the sample is played (beginning at the Start Position)
• Length knob <50%: Percussive decay envelope is applied to the playback (attack-only envelope if playing Reverse)
• Length <1%: Tiny grains are played (can be used to sweep through sample file data manually)
• Reverse button/jack: Toggles forward/backwards
• Bank button: Selects channel's bank
• Reverse+Start Pos button/knob combo allows for setting volume of playback
• Maximum file size for playback: 4GB per file (6.7 hours per file at 44.1 kHz / 16-bit / stereo)
• microSD card is hot-swappable when Busy light is off: no power-down required to change cards.
• Samples that are preloaded into memory can continue playing while card is swapped.

Using a computer, the intuitive automatic bank loading features make dragging and dropping your entire sample library a snap. No files need to be renamed. Just create folders and put up to 10 samples in each. If you want a folder to be associated with a particular color of the Bank button, name the folder a color name (such as Blue - Loops).

• Ships with a high-speed 16GB microSD card, loaded with hundreds of samples created for 4ms, from musicians such as Richard Devine, Wobbly, Moor Mother, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, Joseph Pailo, Russell E.L. Butler, Hugo Paris & Marc Kate, Paul Barker, Baseck, Animal Collective, Cristian Vogel, Jay E, Marcus Fischer, Chris Carter, Daedelus, Nero Bellum, Anna Sitko, Thomas Fang, Bogdan Raczynski, and more (see Sample List)
• Intuitive bank/color organization system; no need to rename your wav files
• Record new samples directly to a bank with the Record Input jacks or drag your folders of sound files onto the microSD card, and each folder will become a bank
• Folders starting with a color name will be loaded into that color bank
• Example Blue - Frooty Loops will load into the Blue bank
• Subfolders are ignored; only folders in the root directory are scanned for WAV files
• Works best with UHS Speed Class 3 cards with |3| symbol printed on the card

• 16 HP Eurorack format module
• Maximum Depth: 1.1" (28mm)
• Includes power ribbon cable with 10 to 16-pin Eurorack power headers
• Power consumption: +12V: 145mA, -12V: 41mA

Q: 6. When using the flash in hss mode at a certain power output level for example at 1/2 power lever, then if i press the test flash button from trigger and measure with seconic light metre, the meter will show the camera setting for 1/2 power flash output in normal setting but not in hss mode. but power of a flash is normally lower in hss mode than in normal mode. with the transmiter of this seconic light meter, if we press the test button can it give us the correct camera setting in hss mode or we have make a test shot from the camera?

A: According to Sekonic, they state that when measuring HSS output, the camera has to be test-fired, meaning you have to press the shutter button on the camera (or use a remote release to trigger the shutter). Using the [TEST] button on the flash will not work when attempting to record HSS output for exposure purposes.

Q: 10. I've herd about the 10 camera profiles and this is great but how film friendly is this meter.i would like to profile my slide film but theirs more than 10 that I shoot.is this possible or am I asking to much of sekonic

A: It is not possible to create profiles for film the way you do for digital cameras. With variables such as emulsion batches and processing, you cannot guarantee consistency, plus the images would have to be scanned, introducing another variable-the scanner.The best thing to do is shoot some test film based on the meters reading, then evaluate them for good exposure and how much over/under exposure the film tolerates. If you feel that some over or under exposure is needed, you may manually enter compensation data into the meter. Same with dynamic range.
