Firmware update:
To update the firmware, you need to do the following:
- Copy the downloaded .mfw file to the root folder of the SD card.
- Ensure there are no other .mfw files on the SD card.
- Power off the sampler if it is not already off.
- Power on the sampler and immediately press and hold the Setup button.
- If the sampler locates the firmware on the SD card, it will ask whether you wish to update.
- Press 9 (yes) to proceed or 7 (no) if you do not wish to continue (you can then skip the following points).
- The update process should commence. Please ensure that the machine remains powered on throughout the process.
- Once the update is complete, the sampler will restart.

Highlights
- Stereo and panning. Output channels pair up into stereo, with a pan position per sound and an editor for setting it.
- Step editing. A step can be opened after it has been recorded and its parameters changed. Until now a step could only be erased and entered again.
- Automation. Moves on the filter, filter 2, gain and LFO pages can be recorded live from the sliders, along with drive, pan spread and pitch error, and everything else entered a step at a time.
- An LFO for each sound, on pitch, filter cutoff and gain.
- Polyphonic and gated playback, from the pads and over MIDI, with chords in the step sequencer.
- Sounds save to the card as WAV, and the card can be managed from the machine.
Sequencing
- Step Edit. Hold Tap/Repeat and press a pad to open a step and change what it does: pitch, velocity, duration, panning, delay, cutoff, both filters, the gain envelope and the LFO, across fourteen pages.
- A step can hold several notes as a chord, each with parameters of its own.
- Polyphony in the step sequencer, with note length, delay and pitch set per step, high-quality pitch included.
- Up to six segments play together, each with its own length, for polymeter.
- Slides between notes, with a default slide speed per sound.
- Gated playback.
- Progress and playback indicators for segments and songs.
Sound
- Automation in a pattern. Every slider on the filter, filter 2, gain and LFO pages can be recorded while the sequencer runs, by holding Tap/Repeat; pitch, panning, drive and the rest are entered a step at a time. A recorded move holds for the notes that follow, and moving the same slider by hand takes the parameter over for that sound until you hand it back.
- An LFO for each sound on pitch, filter cutoff and gain, with rate, delay, depth, start phase and sync, and a master depth over the lot.
- Crossfade looping.
- Pitch range extended to ±36 semitones.
Stereo and mixing
- Output channels pair into stereo on 1–2, 3–4, 5–6 and 7–8, with a pan position for each sound and an editor for setting it.
Sampling and sound editing
- Transient detection in Loop / Truncate: 7 and 8 step through the transients in a sample and move the loop points onto each one, for working through a break.
- Sounds save to the card as a WAV with a small settings file beside it, so a sound reloads exactly as it was and still opens in any audio editor.
MIDI
- MIDI CC. CC 1, the mod wheel, sets the LFO master depth, so it reaches pitch, filter cutoff or gain depending on how the LFO is set.
- Pitch bend, up to seven semitones either way.
- Incoming CC moves and pitch bend are recorded into a segment along with everything else.
- Song Position Pointer and Song Select are followed.
- All Notes Off.
- Create, delete and rename files and folders from the machine.
Setup
- Setup menu navigation: the menu can be browsed with the arrow keys, the Special functions included, rather than only reached by typing a number.
