STS now available?

Sorry for the lack of communication here.

It was an oversight to leave the STS in the firmware list of modules, as it doesn’t do anything! I will remove it for the next version, I know it’s confusing to see a useless module in the list.

I do have a branch with the STS working, both on VCV and on hardware. But the UX is not so fun when going from VCV rack to the MM, and not all bugs are worked out.
The basic concept is that I want to be able to have a patch with multiple STS modules, and each one can have a different sample library.
I settled on letting you choose within each module one of multiple folders called “Samples-1”, “Samples-2”, etc… which must be present on an SD card or USB drive. Or you can choose “Root Dir” which uses the original STS SD Card format.

As I played with it, I realized it would be immensely more useful if it had a screen. The color = bank paradigm of the STS doesn’t translate so well to the MM screen. So I made a version with a screen, that’s playback only. I’m calling it the STSP (Stereo Triggered Sample Player). This is the current state of that:

Don’t take this too literally, the controls and layout is subject to change!

As you might have guessed I didn’t get it stable before release date, and I had to put it on hold to fix all the bugs and add quality-of-life features for v1.0 and v1.1. But the STSP not forgotten, and will be coming out soon™ :slight_smile:
