This is manual trigger button for the first channel
This is manual trigger button for the second channel. 
Also, it’s a SHIFT button to access secondary features, 
therefore manual trigger will work in Performance mode 
only
OLED screen gives visual feedback on the module 
functions
SD card slot accepts micro SD cards used for sample 
upload. Observe the orientation of the card
Select between two channels. Two samples can be played 
simultaneously
Six encoders (A-F) change their functions depending on 
the operation mode. Encoder A always is the main 
select/data encoder, clicking encoder D will return to the 
previous menu page 
These are trigger inputs 
These are assignable CV inputs. Each channel has three 
freely assignable CV inputs. CV3 of the second channel is 
used as audio input for sample recording
These are audio outputs of the module

Thank you for purchasing Erica Synths Sample Drum! 
Sample Drum is a part of Erica Synths Techno System, 
but we believe it will find it’s place in any live perfor-
mance system.
Sample Drum is 14HP eurorack sample player module with 
straight-forward, intuitive interface, functionality and great 
sound quality, designed with live performance use in mind. 
It is composed of two identical parts and allows you to play 
back, record and slice up samples or loops directly in your 
modular system. For processing there are different play 
modes, tuning functions (including 1 V/Oct pitch tracking), 
virtual VCAs plus AD envelopes and real-time effects. Three 
freely assignable CV inputs per channel guarantee a lot of 
expression during performance. 16bit mono wav samples 
are loaded into RAM (32MB / ~ 5 minutes of sampling time) 
from SD card (16 GB SD card with factory preset samples 
comes with the module) for instantaneous playback response. 
All settings can be saved and recalled during live performance.
