I got the Synth awhile ago and when I updated the firmware I also bought a few palettes that looked interesting. Can palettes be used with Synth or are they for other devices? If I can use, there are not any instructions on where to put them on my SD card.
Thanks for joining us here at backstage @me-9744. Hope you’ve been enjoying your Synth.
The answer to your question is yes and no, but mostly yes!
The majority of Palette contents are sample packs, which are more aimed at the Play and Tracker. There have also been Palettes that are synth patches/presets for all the Synth engines.
You could still find lots of fun to be had using some palette sample packs with the Wav Engine in the Synth, but I wouldn’t say the Palettes “sample packs” have been created and optimized for use in the Synth, but I say that with a big caveat that comes with the 1.3.0 update.
With the new DWA engine instruoduced in the 1.3.0 update, it really open up all of the previous Palettes to be more relevant and useful with the Synth. It is my goal this weekend to bring a couple of my favorite Palette packs into the DWA engine and FSU with it.
Hope that helps to answer your question. If ever you feel like you’d like to point out the Palettes you got I’d be happy to help you integrate them with your Synth.
@me-9744@mcsluis you should use the 16bit mono folder.
The sample files (*.wav) in the subfolders go to the different synth engine locations GRAIN, DWA and WAVS.(Flat hirarchy with no subfolders) So currently, if you want to play with it in all 3 engines, you have to copy it to all 3 locations.
For the PT you also use the 16bit mono, for PT+ the 16bit stereo. You can literaly put it anywhere on the SD card, usually in your samples folder.
Pay attention to the max file limit! There are quite a few sample packs that contain more than 100 files per folder. Put them in subfolders (like 001 and 002) it does not produce errors but you wont see any files above 100 in the instrument loading screen.
For Step there’s a good description here on the forum, how you put samples in the kit folders.
For Play there’s a howto here on the forum, too.
That’s currently all devices that can load samples😄
