Samplers

Usine provides 6 different sampler modules each with their own characteristics. All samplers are Mono to 64 channels of recording/playback, and can load most common formats such as mp3, wav, aif, aiff and flac audio files.

You will find classic samplers, granular samplers, MIDI samplers, and various. You can add markers, pitch, volume, panoramic curves, and zoom in the waveform.

Note that Usine use a 32-bit float audio format for all the sample recorders.

the sample player / recorder

The classic audio-sampler and the audio-sampler-recorder with common modifiers such as pitch, gain control, reverse, etc.

the grain sample player / recorder

The audio-sampler-grain and the audio-sampler-recorder-grain provide similar functionality as the classic sampler, with the addition of a powerful granular engine. Grain options include Grain size, speed synchronization and manual percentage adjustments, and the ability to choose windowing options to shape the grains (hanning, gaussian, bartlett,etc).

The granular sampler allows to modify the speed of the sample without affecting the pitch or modify the pitch without affecting the speed. It can be used, for example, to adapt a drum loop to a different tempo while maintaining pitch of original percussive elements.

It works well for speed modification between 80% and 120%.

the MIDI sampler

The audio-sampler-midi can be used directly with incoming MIDI messages.

It uses banks files to map MIDI Notes.

Surround Samplers

The samplers modules in Usine can read up to 64 audio channels.Use the recreate button in the contextual-menu if you need more outputs.

Common Settings

info

show manual

Button. Opens the manual page of the selected object (or of its parent module for a control) in the web browser. If no page exists for this object, an error is traced in the trace panel.

For more details about information/help creation, see create-help-file.

description

Free multi-line text attached to the module, saved with the patch. It is only meant as an internal note for the patch designer: it is not displayed in the interface.

ID's

visible only in god mode, see setup-panel-tab-expert.

unique ID

Read-only, not saved. Current private numeric ID of the object, used internally to identify it (for example as the target of a bind ID).

preset ID

Read-only, not saved. Private ID used to store and recall the values of this control in presets.

recreate ID

Button. Generates a new unique ID, original ID and preset ID for the object. Use it if you experience difficulties in Polyphonic mode or if two objects share the same ID. Preset values and binds referring to the old IDs are lost.

Object Remote Address

absolute

Read-only, not saved. Absolute address of the object in the Usine objects tree, built from the workspace root. This is the address to use to reach the object from scripts, the objects panel or remote messages. Only shown for objects that are registered in the objects list. See objects-address.

local

Read-only, not saved. Address of the object relative to the current patch, valid inside that patch only. See objects-address.

user addr

Free user-defined address for the object (empty by default). When set, the object is also registered in the objects tree under this name, so it can be reached independently of its position in the workspace (the value is also reported in the mouse-over and mouse-down chunks). Changing it rebuilds the objects list. Only available on objects that support a user address. See objects-address.
