G-Stomper | User Samples V.5.8.1
20 User Samples
G-Stomper Studio provides full support for the use of own Samples (custom sounds).
There are two main ways to bring your own Samples to G-Stomper Studio:
• Use the general ‘usersamples’ folder, which is the easiest and also the recommended method.
Using the ‘usersamples’ folder allows you to directly access the samples using the G-Stomper
file browser.
• Store your Samples in your own folders at any location in your storage.
Depending on your Android version, this method requires the Android System Files Picker
(from Android 8.0 onwards) to access your files, if you store your samples outside the private
storage of the app.
20.1 Use the private ‘usersamples’ Folder
The private ‘usersamples’ folder is the simplest and best way to bring your own Samples to G-Stomper.
20.1.1 Android 8.0 and higher
Simply copy your Sample Library to the folder:
/sdcard/Android/data/< app-packagename>/files/gstomper/usersamples
The <app-packagename> is unique for each app:
G-Stomper Studio com.planeth.gstomper
G-Stomper Studio DEMO com.planeth.gstomperdemo
G-Stomper Producer com.planeth.gstomperproducer
G-Stomper Producer DEMO com.planeth.gstomperproducerdemo
G-Stomper Rhythm com.planeth.rhythm
G-Stomper VA-Beast (standalone) com.planeth.vabeast
G-Stomper VA-Beast (standalone) DEMO com.planeth.vabeastdemo
To copy the sounds, you can either use an USB connection and a PC, or a File Manager app, if the files
are already stored on the device. The Sample Library can be flat (just files) or it can be organized in
folder structures, whatever you prefer.

G-Stomper | User Samples V.5.8.1
Once you have copied the files to the ‘usersamples’ folder, the sounds are immediately available in your
G-Stomper app. Show up the Track menu of a particular Track, select the LOAD tab and choose ‘User
Sample’ from the menu. You’ll be dropped directly in the usersamples folder.
(see also Chapter: Access your Samples from the private ‘usersamples’ folder)
Important Note:
To copy the Samples to the G-Stomper usersamples folder is for your comfort only.
You can of course place your sounds at any location on your device storage. But keep in mind that if
you store your samples outside the private storage of the app, then you can only access them in use of
the System Files Picker: Show up the Track menu of a particular Track, select the LOAD tab and long
press (press and hold) ‘User Sample’.
20.1.2 Android 7.x and lower
Simply copy your Sample Library to the folder:
/sdcard/gstomper/usersamples
To copy the sounds, you can either use an USB connection and a PC, or a File Manager app, if the files
are already stored on the device. The Sample Library can be flat (just files) or it can be organized in
folder structures, whatever you prefer.
Once you have copied the files to the ‘usersamples’ folder, the sounds are immediately available in your
G-Stomper app. Show up the Track menu of a particular Track, select the LOAD tab and choose ‘User
Sample’ from the menu. You’ll be dropped directly in the usersamples folder.
