i havent done really exhaustive research on the sickosampler and canard, but so far in my travels, here’s what i’ve found:
-
canard module:
pros:
you can load and play longer stem .wav files (as i mention above, up to 8 1minute 20 sec 48/16 wav files)
you can cv the start offset and length for some interesting sounds
it lets you do slices, although i haven’t really experimented much there
uses less cpu than sickosampler (between 10-12%)
cons:
the gate input is a still bit wonky so you cannot just plug an lfo into it, you have to use a comparator module (and plug lfo into that), or just use fundamental push since it output hard 1 or 0.
it can be a bit clicky sounding
although it records, its still a little buggy -
sickosampler module:
pros:
due to it’s built in adsr envelope, it sounds great for doing granular type stuff.
you can record into it and save the sample (although i have not tried longer than 30 second recordings)
cons:
not great for loading bigger longer samples. it currently has a ram bug and might crash the mm with longer samples
it doesn’t allow you to add cv to the start or end offset which is too bad, but you can still map one of the mm knobs to that, which is fun to perform with
