Cue points supported (enable in settings.txt; use Reaper to set cues)

Preparing samples for the Sampler

The 4ms Sampler takes WAV up to 96 kHz and 32-bit, mono or stereo, and organizes it into banks: one folder per bank, up to sixty banks of ten samples, 600 in total. Files load in alphabetical order within a folder, so a numeric or lettered prefix controls which pad gets which sound.

A nice touch is color: prefix a folder name with a color like Red or Blue and that bank's LED matches. Cue points are supported too, once you enable them in settings.txt. SampleStack converts and lays out the bank folders, names files so they land in the order you want, and keeps each bank within its ten-sample limit.
