4MS Stereo Triggered Sampler Blank Folder Structure (Download) (Patreon)

Today I released a video on the awesome 4MS STS Module (watch it here: https://youtu.be/-I1oQEDjzck). It's a dual-channel sampler and sample playback device for Eurorack. It was the capacity for 60 banks with 10 samples each and uses a color and blink LED visual feedback system to show you where you are in the banks.

It took me a bit to get my head around how this worked and get it set up for me, and I wanted to try and make your life easier if you get this module and want to organize your banks by colors and blinks.

Attached is a zip file with every single color and blink folder ready for you to populate with your own samples. You can rename the folders after the initial number and color, like this: 

Here's the way this works: 

There are 10 banks with 10 samples in them per each main collection of banks. The order of colors in the bank of banks is: 

White
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Cyan
Blue
Magenta
Lavender
Pearl

On the unit, pressing the Bank button will iterate through those colors. Pressing Reverse + the Bank button will iterate in reverse.

Once you hit Pearl and press bank again, you travel to the next series of colors in order, but the LED will blink once. Then, once you've passed through them again, the LED will blink twice. This will go through blinking continually, which means you can have 6 sets of 10 banks.

You can also use the sample knobs with the two bank buttons held down to traverse to a particular bank and sample set. Check the manual for more info: https://4mscompany.com/STS/STS-manual-1.0.pdf

It's a great system, but it's a pain in the butt to visualize and type out and keep track of. I hope the attached blank folder structure works to make that easier.

It starts with the banks that are just labeled a color, no "-#" afterward. Then it goes through "color-#", -51 through -5. The "-# represents the blinks, as shown in the graphic above.

After the "-#" is two sets of numbers. The first number represents the position in the color order, and the second represents its overall bank collection number.
