File handling

Getting Started

Starting on version 1.10 of MOD firmware it is possible to store files inside your MOD device and access them in multiple different ways according to the plugin where they are can be used.

Check here how to access and check the files stored inside your MOD device. ----------> link with File Manager section on WebGUI page of the wiki

How to upload a file

In order to upload a file into your MOD device, you must access the file manager section of your WebGUI.

For that, you should click on the File Manager icon shown on the "Mode selector" section of the WebGUI.

Supported types of files

"aif", "aifc", "aiff", "au", "bwf", "flac", "htk", "iff", "mat4", "mat5", "oga", "ogg", "paf", "pvf", "pvf5", "sd2", "sf", "snd", "svx", "vcc", "w64", "wav", "xi", (extra through ffmpeg) "3g2", "3gp", "aac", "ac3", "amr", "ape", "mp2", "mp3", "mpc", "wma", "mid" and "midi".

Audio Files

MOD devices file manager divides your audio files into 4 different categories: Audio Loops, Audio Recordings, Audio Samples, and Audio Tracks.

For each of these categories, there's a different folder. Although you can store any file in any folder, it is important that you store your audio files in the correct ones since different plugins have access to different folders.

For example: Audio File plugin access to the Audio Loops, Audio Recordings, and Audio Tracks folders. While Exampler access only to the Audio Samples folder.

Audio Loops

The Audio Loops folder is meant to be the storage place for any "loopable" audio file on your device.

These files can be for example your quantized drum pattern or bass synth line.

Audio Recordings

The Audio Recordings folder will be the place where any recording done inside your MOD device is stored.

Note: at the date when this tutorial was last reviewed there were no plugins available that record files inside your MOD device.

Audio Samples

The Audio Samples folder is the destination to store audio samples on the storage of your MOD device.

Audio Samples can be for example singular drum sounds (like a snare, kick, or hi-hats sounds), sampled notes of a piano, violin, bass, etc.

Audio Tracks

The Audio Tracks folder is the folder where you can store audio tracks that you use as support to play live on top.

You can use this folder to store backing tracks of your songs being them with multiple instruments or a single bass line (for example).

MIDI Files

Both ".mid" and ".midi" extensions for MIDI files are supported on MOD devices.

MIDI Clips

MIDI Clips folder is used to store single instrument MIDI files. For example: the MIDI file of your synth lead line.

This type of file is similar to the audio loop files. These are normally quantized MIDI tracks cut in order to be "loopable".

MIDI Songs

This folder stores MIDI files with multiple layers and instruments. Normally this file should work as a song (as the old school MIDI songs style).

Take as an example the full orchestration MIDI file that you can export if you write a music piece using tools like Sibelius, Music Score or Finale.

Impulse Response Files

For Speaker Cabinets and Impulse Responses only the following audio extensions are supported:

"aif", "aifc", "aiff", "flac", "w64" and "wav".
