The core of the LO-FI Tape Sampler was inspired by Peter Edwards of Casper Electronics and his experimentation with the ISD1820 sampler chip. The name “tape” is given to the module due to the Lo-fi sample rate which is similar to the classic Casio SK1 sampler keyboard.
Version 5 updates:
- Integrated microphone – panel mounted condenser microphone
- Microphone switch – record from the microphone or the audio in or mix both
- EOC output – end of cycle pulse out which can becomes a clock when the module is in loop mode
- MIX crossfader – mixing between the input signal and the sampler/filter output
- Normalised CV – Audio In is normalised to CV In for FM over recording and playback pitch
- CV LOCK switch – mute CV IN jack during REC mode
- Momentary loop – holding trig now loops playback
- Reactive TRIG input – DRY/WET MIX reacts to the TRIG input level
