The 4ms Sampler is a seriously cool, compact Eurorack module for anyone wanting to incorporate samples into their modular workflow. It's a fantastic tool for adding texture, rhythm, and unique soundscapes—especially if you're into experimental sound design or glitchy beats. The CV control is a big win for patching and dynamic manipulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

You load samples onto the included microSD card using a computer, and the module recognizes them automatically within the banks. It's straightforward but lacks a direct loading interface within the module itself.
16GB is a decent starting point, but serious users will likely want to upgrade to a larger capacity card (up to 256GB) to store a wider range of samples.
The 4ms offers a more raw, minimalist experience; the others provide more advanced features like granular synthesis and more intuitive interfaces, but at a higher price point.
