# VolSa 2

Volsa 2 is a simple command line sample manager for KORG **Vol**ca **Sa**mple **2** that works over ALSA MIDI sequencer. It can list, upload, download and remove samples via USB.

*This project is in early alpha stage. Use it at your own risk.*

There is also an Electron-based GUI available at [Turbnok/volsa2gui](https://github.com/Turbnok/volsa2gui).

## Installation

To build and install volsa2-cli you need alsa-lib and Rust 1.64.0 or higher. The most convenient
way is to use `cargo install` command:
```sh
cargo install volsa2-cli
```
This way the binary will end up in your `$HOME/.cargo/bin` (or `$CARGO_HOME/bin`). Make sure to add it to your `$PATH`.

Otherwise you can clone the repository and build it.
```sh
git clone https://github.com/00nktk/volsa2
cd volsa2
cargo build --release
```

## Usage
Use `--help` to print command description and available options.
```sh
volsa2-cli <command> --help
```

### List (`ls`)

```sh
volsa2-cli list
```
This command lists samples loaded into Volca Sample 2 memory. Use `-a`/`--show-empty` flag to include empty slots in the output.

### Download (`dl`)

```sh
volsa2-cli download <sample-no>
```
This will download sample from slot `<sample-no>`. You can specify output path via `-o`/`--output`. By default the sample is saved in the working directory named the same way as on the device.

### Upload (`up`)

```sh
volsa2-cli upload <path-to-sample> [<sample-no>]
```
Loads a sample from `<path-to-sample>` into `<sample-no>` slot. If no `<sample-no>` is specified, will use the first empty slot. Sample is converted to 31.25kHz mono. *Currently only WAV files are supported*.

Volsa2 will offer you to backup the sample if the desired slot is occupied.
##### Options:
- `-m`/`--mono-mode` - Lets you choose which channel to use as mono. Available options are: `left`, `right`, `mid`, `side`. Default is `mid` (mono mix).
- `-o`/`--output` - If specified, will save converted audio at the provided path. 
- `--dry-run` - Convert the sample, but do not load it into the device.

### Remove (`rm`)
```sh
volsa2-cli remove <sample-no>
```
Erases sample at slot `<sample-no>` from the device memory. Use `-p`/`--print-name` if you want to print the name of the sample.
