The S-4 Sculpting Sampler - Ofcial Manual
The hi resolution screen displays both parameter values and a functional
animation of the selected option. For example the material tape device
page will show the sample playback. If multiple pages exist, pressing the
device button repeatedly will cycle through each page and its parameters.
The display format style follows a generic structure and layout.
1.7 User Interface
The front panel controls are designed to encourage exploration and
experimentation giving fast and easy access to the wide range of
parameters and functions. There are some generic conventions that apply
globally when using the user interface.

Buttons
Parameters & Value Knobs
Select Knob
Action Buttons
Selected buttons will illuminate brightly
when the function is selected.
Each of the 8 push / rotary knobs represent
the current display page parameters.
Any instruction will give the parameter name
relevant to the knob, i.e. Turn (SPEED).
Holding a knob while adjusting some
parameters will open a ‘mode select’ menu.
These parameters are shown with a
’
tag.
The select knob is a tactile push / rotary encoder
with detent rotation for iterative, precise changes.
This selects from menus and options. By default
this changes tempo 1 BPM increments.
The 4 Action buttons operate dynamically.
Their function changes to represent the option
currently displayed directly above the button.
Some parameters operate on a single scale i.e. 0-
100%, some have a bipolar range ie -50 to +50 and
others may be an option selection ie ‘Chromatic’
The selected function and its currently active
page parameter values can be adjusted by
the respective rotary knob. Pressing a page
button repeatedly will cycle through is pages.
Sometimes the illuminated button and color
represents its functions current state. The
button can be dim, static lit or ashing.

The [MOD] Button will switch the action buttons between the device specic actions and
the modulation mapping. In modulation mapping view, the active modulator will
illuminate its corresponding action button in color. The parameter values now represent
the amount of modulation applied to each parameter.
Modulation amount applied to each parameter.
Adjusted in this mode with the 8 parameter control knobs.
