MetaModule as a Sample Player?

[remixed123]

I can think of many ways to use MetaModule, but I was wondering if it can be used as a sample player, particularly for percussion sounds? I see it has a microsd card slot.

I often use VCV Rack to trigger drums, hats etc., and since they are wav files I selected, I can have the exact sound I am looking for, or even loop through a collection of sounds to find one that fits.

The cost of a few high quality percussion modules from the likes of Erica Synth far surpass the cost of the MetaModule, so makes economic sense, so long as the sample player has tune, decay or other ways to manipulate the sound.

Is this possible, or am I expecting something from the MetaModule it was not designed to do?

The 4ms Sampler is coming eventually.

You may want to check out the sample playback modules from Sickozell. I haven’t tried them, so I don’t know how they would perform for your use case.

ive been able to run samples no problem. requires current dev 2.0 firmware and either bidoo plugins or sickocell plugins (search in the plugins setction of this forum).

here’s my little rundown between the bidoo canard sampler and the sickosampler:

8x sample loop player

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 ca…

ill be very excited to use and explore the 4ms STS once that arrives!
