File Manager

The File Manager does what the official browser tool does but faster and with batch operations. Browse your device's sample slots, upload new samples, download existing ones. File listing loads in seconds, not minutes.

The app caches samples in the background after your device connects. This means backups are nearly instant once the cache is populated. Works offline too since it's a desktop app, not a browser tab.

Samples are organised into categories based on the EP device type:

EP-40 Riddim

• KICK: Kick drum samples (slots 1-12)
• SNARE: Snare drum samples (slots 13-24)
• CYMB: Cymbal and hi-hat samples (slots 25-36)
• PERC: Percussion samples (slots 37-48)
• BASS: Bass samples (slots 49-60)
• MELOD: Melodic samples (slots 61-72)
• LOOP: Loop samples (slots 73-84)
• USER 1: User-defined samples (slots 85-96)
• USER 2: User-defined samples (slots 97-108)
• SFX: Sound effects (slots 109-120)

EP-133 K.O. II & EP-1320 Medieval

• Categories vary by device model
• File Manager automatically adapts to show the correct categories

The File Manager displays all samples in a sortable table:

• Slot: Sample slot number (1-120 on EP-40)
• Sample Name: The filename of the sample
• Type: Sample type badge (Oneshot, Key, Legato, Loop or Multi)
• Channels: Mono or Stereo
• Bit Depth: Audio bit depth (usually 16-bit)
• Sample Rate: Audio sample rate (usually 44.1 kHz)
• Duration: Length of the sample in seconds
• Size: File size in KB or MB

Sorting

Click any column header to sort by that property. Click again to reverse the order, and a third time to return to the default sort. Use the category tabs at the top to filter by sample type.

Search & Filtering

Type in the search bar to filter samples by name. Matching text is highlighted in the results. Filters persist when switching between category tabs. Each tab tooltip shows the number of filled slots in that category.

Auto-preview

Selecting a sample automatically plays a preview. Use the arrow keys to move through samples and hear each one as you go — handy for quickly auditioning what's on the device.

Tabs

The File Manager supports multiple tabs so you can have several views open at once. Double-click a tab title to rename it — useful for labelling what you're working on (e.g. "Kicks to replace", "Live set samples"). Use the reset button to revert a renamed tab back to its default name.

Context Menu

Right-click any slot to access quick actions: Play, Rename, Download, Delete and Upload here.

Keyboard Shortcuts

• Delete / Backspace: Delete selected sample(s)
• Enter / Space: Play selected sample
• Arrow keys: Navigate between samples with auto-preview

Adding new samples to your device:

1. Navigate to the target category - Click the tab for the category you want (KICK, SNARE, etc.)
2. Find an empty slot - Look for slots marked as empty or containing samples you want to replace
3. Click "Upload" on that slot - An upload button appears for each slot
4. Select your audio file - Choose a WAV, MP3, FLAC, AIFF or other supported format
5. Wait for transfer - The file will be uploaded via USB MIDI (this may take a moment for larger files)
6. Verify the upload - The table will update to show the new sample details

Backing up samples from your device:

1. Navigate to the category - Select the category containing the sample you want
2. Click "Download" on the slot - A download button appears for each filled slot
3. Choose save location - Select where to save the file on your computer
4. Wait for download - The sample will be transferred via USB MIDI

You can also download multiple samples by selecting them and using the batch download feature.

Select multiple samples and rename them in bulk using pattern tokens:

• {n} — Sequential number (1, 2, 3…)
• {nn} — Zero-padded number (01, 02, 03…)
• {name} — Original sample name
• {slot} — Slot number

Select multiple samples and export them as a single ZIP archive. Handy for backing up a set of samples or sharing them with others without doing a full device backup.

Samples exceeding the 20-second duration limit can be trimmed to fit directly from the File Manager. Click "Trim to fit" to automatically truncate the sample to the maximum allowed length.

Deleted samples are moved to the Recycle Bin rather than being permanently removed immediately. You can restore individual samples or use multi-select to bulk restore.

The Recycle Bin gives you a safety net when tidying up your device — accidentally deleted samples can be recovered.

The File Manager supports multi-step undo. If you rename, move or delete something by mistake, undo it immediately.

Removing samples to free up space:

1. Locate the sample - Find the slot you want to clear
2. Click "Delete" - Confirm the deletion when prompted
3. Slot cleared - The slot is now empty and available for new samples

The File Manager shows a "SYNCING" indicator when communicating with your device:

• Initial sync: When you first connect or navigate to File Manager, all samples are loaded from the device
• Upload sync: When uploading, the file is transferred and verified
• Download sync: When downloading, the file is read from device memory
• Delete sync: When deleting, the slot is cleared and updated

Wait for syncing to complete before disconnecting your device or navigating away from File Manager.
