Sample Drum

Sample Drum is 14HP eurorack sample player module with straight-forward, intuitive interface, functionality and great sound quality, designed with live performance use in mind.

The Sample Drum is composed of two identical parts and allows you to play back, record and slice up samples or loops directly in your modular system. For processing there are different play modes, tuning functions (including 1 V/Oct pitch tracking), virtual VCAs plus AD envelopes and realtime effects. Three freely assignable CV inputs per channel guarantee a lot of expression during performance. 16bit mono wav samples are loaded into RAM (32MB / ~ 5 minutes of sampling time) from SD card (16 GB SD card with factory preset samples comes with the module) for instantaneous playback response. All settings can be saved and recalled during live performance.

The Sample Drum comes with free factory preset sample pack developed by producers Pitch Black, Nero Bellum, T.Raumschmiere, Otto von Schirach, Raitis AG. If you use your own samples in the Sample Drum, you take all responsibility on complying with copyright laws. Please read the End User Agreement below!

FIRMWARE UPDATE CHANGELOG

The Sample Drum has received a nomination for the 35th Annual NAMM Technical Excellence & Creativity (TEC) Awards in the category of Outstanding Technical Achievement within Musical Instrument Hardware section – NAMM TEC Awards

The sample drum is very engaging as a creative tool and makes it an absolute delight for techno, acid house, glitch and far out ambient excursions. I’m getting on with the workflow quite a bit, it’s a breeze. There are tons of performance features you wouldn’t expect: Effects, CV mapping, manual performance control, envelopes. The Sample Drum already seems an indispensable piece in my system. It’s a looping, slicing animal that rocks the block. – G Storm Electronica
