Superbooth 2023: 4ms - Looping Delay - Sampler

We met with Dan from 4MS who introduced us to two new low-cost modules, Looping Delay and Sampler. Sampler is a sample playback and recording device with a simple interface. Users can change the pitch, length, and start position of samples, making it possible to create granular-type patches. The device can play backwards and record from stereo input to stereo output. The device includes an SD card with a few hundred samples, and users can create up to ten sample banks. The device also has a CV for bank trigger sample, end out reverse, and pitch knob.
Looping Delay which would pair well with Sampler can create echo, delay, and reverb effects with up to 900ms of delay time. Looping Delay can be used with an expression pedal for real-time control of feedback and delay time. The device also includes a bypass footswitch and a CV for delay time. The looping delay and sampler can be used together to create unique soundscapes and effects. The Looping Delay and Sampler are the first two modules in 4MS' new low-cost module line and are designed to be easy to build.
Looping Delay Price: 275 USD. Kit Price: 175 USD
Sampler Price: 299 USD. Kit Price: 199 USD

I was looking at that hypnotic video when I miss my tram stop station Thank you ❤

[@blindianajones]

Thanks 4ms for making complex functions easier and accessible.

[@Feldspar__]

Dan did a nice job demoing these upside down.

[@steveelbows3797]

The microsd card of the sampler is likely on the front, below the play button, not hidden away.

[@Digiphex]

This was fun to watch. I met Dan one time and he is super nice.

[@atetraxx]

that loooping sampler is actually really really cool

[@useca]

A great demo, Dan!

[@sukkube]

Omg that module looks so amazing 😍

[@PnPModular]

These look banging!! ❤❤

[@eternalism8274]

4:45 cv-controlled selection of which bank - finally! 🎉cant believe how many samplers require fingers to switch banks

[@Bellyheart]

I got the Sampler and DLD and can not get that amazing noise Dan gets showing the Karplus Strong ability.

[@cauldronofbats]

That is a killer combination of modules. Love my STS but might need to build these kits!

[@harryyes1527]

Why would you be interested in one of these when you already have the STS? Seems like a downgrade

[@cauldronofbats]

@@harryyes1527 I learn from building kits. There is a new CV control for banks too.

[@samothrace2106]

Uh, yeah, I'll take both...

[@deanivan3951]

Thanks does the 4ms DLD looping Delay and triggered sampler have any advantages over these twopart from the stereo? I was just about to purchase them until i saw these budget friendly ones 👍

[@Bellyheart]

DLD doesn't do stereo the same way. The STS seems to have more onboard editing, resampling, and obviously double the sampler.

[@rampageExtremeGamer]

sampler is nice

[@temporoboto]

I don't see a simple gate in cv, to fire off one shots?

[@wav_909]

So looping delay is just a half dual looping delay right ? Or does anything else change ?

[@harryyes1527]

wondering the same thing

[@danngreen1]

It has CV over Dry/Wet mix (DLD does not) and it can operate in stereo mode (using the Send/Return jacks for the right channel audio). In stereo mode the max delay time is about 43 seconds (it's 87 seconds in mono mode)

[@ScottofOakland]

I love the idea of affordable. It seems like its a reaction to the Big Bad corporations.

[@stephanmobius1380]

??? The old DLD can not do this undoing/unlayering of the recorded delay, or does it ???

[@deanivan3951]

Yes!

[@EdwinSL]

That up side down presenting is not working for me, cool modules though.

[@eternalism8274]

🙃

[@atetraxx]

the modules arent upside down tho.
