The 4MS Sampler 12HP is a streamlined Sampler module, offering an incredible amount of recording time, triggered sample playback, and plenty of ways to subject sounds to the malleability of control voltages. Newly refreshed in a slimmer, 12HP panel, this streamlined Sampler is a great way to dive right in to modular audio mangling with an intuitive and straightforward interface.
Keeping track of all your samples can be hard, but the 4ms Sampler makes it really easy by organising sounds into colour-based banks. Group your sounds into folders on the card prefixed with colour names, and the Bank button will illuminate in that chosen colour.
Up to 60 banks of 10 samples each means you have up 600 samples at your disposal at any time. The module ships with a courtesy 16GB SD card, filled with samples from numerous artists including Richard Devine, Moor Mother, Baseck, and so many more. Of course, you can also record your own material into Sampler, limited only by the constraints of your SD card. The module will split exceptionally large recordings into 4GB files, but give it a 256GB card and you can leave your Sampler recording for 18 days.
Sampler puts some key parameters at your disposal for mangling your sounds. Manipulate pitch, shift the start position, and dynamically change the playback length for pseudo-granular effects and glitchy mayhem. You can even scan through the loaded samples and banks to call up different sounds in an instant. Give prepared sounds a new life in your Eurorack rig with the Sampler from 4ms.
