  • Files must be named A.wav through Z.wav, then 0.wav through 9.wav, then AA.wav, BB.wav, etc.
  • Files must contain no metadata tags; strip them with ffmpeg or Audacity before transferring
  • Audio: 22,050 Hz, 16-bit, mono WAV only
  • SD card must be FAT16 formatted and 2 GB or smaller

Preparing samples for the ADDAC101 .WAV Player

The ADDAC101 .WAV Player is as strict as Eurorack sample prep gets. Files are mono 16-bit WAV at 22,050 Hz, named A.wav through Z.wav, then 0.wav through 9.wav, then AA.wav and so on, all in the root of the card with no subfolders. The card itself must be FAT16 and no larger than 2 GB.

One quiet gotcha: the module chokes on files that carry metadata tags, so headers have to be stripped before transfer. SampleStack converts to the exact 22,050 Hz mono format, applies the A-to-Z naming, strips extra headers, and validates the FAT16 card so a file is never silently skipped.
