Model-Tweaks: 16ch USB audio and other QoL improvements - drumkilla - 10-04-2026
Hi everyone!
You've probably seen these tweaks as part of the amazing mods Modded-Cycles by 18nelli and Model-TG by TinyGregAudio, but since they're mostly Model:Cycles-oriented, I decided to make a separate post about this project so Model:Samples users can get some love too.
First of all, I managed to implement a 16-channel USB audio stack based on ms-multi-output by Scott Metoyer and the recent changes made by 18nelli. So now we have 6 stereo channels for the tracks, plus separate stereo channels for the reverb and delay sends. The track channels are tapped after PAN and VOL.
Here are videos demonstrating USB audio working on both machines:

To activate 16-channel mode, you need to enable it in CONFIG > DEVICE > USB MODE
The standard modes (A+M and MID) still work too.
Other tweaks:
- TRACK + FUNC (not the other way around) now latches mute mode, so you don't have to hold the FUNC button to mute/unmute tracks (although the original method still works).
- Trig preview via TRIG + PAGE in grid recording mode. It works the same way as TRIG + YES on the Digitakt.
- Text scrolling in the samples/sounds browser. If a name is too long, it now scrolls automatically.
Everything above has been tested on my own Model:Samples and Model:Cycles.
I also added a WEB FLASHER for convenience.

make model: samples great again
) can't wait to see what we will get after months of modding community making their custom firmwares.
hope there's be more attention to model: samples
