SampleStack 1.0.2 is here with a huge expansion to our instrument support. We’ve gone from 9 to 29 supported instruments, covering everything from compact Eurorack modules to standalone grooveboxes.
20 new instruments
This release adds full support for:
Eurorack modules: Bitbox mk2 (1010music), Assimil8or (Rossum Electro-Music), 4ms Sampler/STS, Tiptop ONE, 2hp Play, Disting EX & Disting NT (Expert Sleepers), Two of Cups (Endorphin.es), GrandPA (Bastl Instruments), Nebulae v2 (Qu-Bit Electronix), ADDAC WAV Player, and ER-301 (Orthogonal Devices).
Standalone samplers & grooveboxes: Digitakt II & Model:Samples (Elektron), MPC One/Live II (Akai Professional), SP-404MKII (Roland), Maschine+ (Native Instruments), Tracker Mini (Polyend), S2400 (Isla Instruments), and GR-1 (Tasty Chips).
Every new instrument includes auto-detection, sample validation, format conversion, folder structure creation, and export, just like the originals.
Custom manufacturer icons
All 29 instruments now display their manufacturer’s logo in the sidebar and module picker. This makes it much easier to visually identify your libraries at a glance.
Instruments default to a neutral colour scheme. You can customise the colour of any library via right-click > Set Color.
Under the hood
We’ve made some targeted performance and stability improvements:
- Faster library scanning: Pitch index writes are now batched during analysis instead of writing to disk after every single sample. This reduces I/O overhead on large libraries.
- Layout fixes: Resolved edge cases where the expanded player minimap and sidebar divider could produce invalid geometry when the window was very small.
- Reliable metadata persistence: Tags, ratings, and other metadata now persist immediately, fixing a rare issue where quitting the app very quickly after editing could lose changes.
Update now
Due to a bug in the updater implementation, version 1.0.2 must be downloaded manually — the in-app auto-updater will not pick up this release. Please grab it from the download page. This will be fixed in a future update.
