Squarp Rample Eurorack 4-Voice Sample Player and Audio Processor

Description

Limitless Possibilities – The Squarp Rample Waves System Is A Versatile Sample Machine And Audio Processor

From percussive drum-machine kits to synth samples, breakbeats to sound FX, backing tracks to hour-long audio music, Rample can play up to four .wav files on independent audio outputs. These samples are stored inside the provided SD card, and organized as kits, from A00 to Z99… allowing up to 2600 banks of 4 voices, with on-the-fly loading! The SD card is preloaded with tons of samples, and Squarp made it very easy to import your own kits.

Thanks to the DC coupled audio outputs, it’s also possible to play CV waveforms.

Multi-Layer Sampling

One of the key feature is the ability to “multi-sample” your kits, multiplying Ramples potential. Each voice supports up to 12 samples, can be played randomly or in a controlled fashion. Its a great way to add complexity and variations, to create organic/acoustic sounding drums, or simply to increase the number of samples per kit (up to 48).

Effects Rack

Each voice has its own rack of effects, and all audio effects can be enabled at the same time, allowing you to manipulate your samples in real time, from a gentle lowpass to massive destruction!

• Pitch – A great sounding pitch engine, based on a 6-pole interpolator, which ranges from -1 octave to +1 octave
• Bits – Two different bitcrushing algorithms, based on sample rate and resolution reduction. It produces distortion and warms the audio signal
• Filter – A low resonance filter, DJ-style, cutting off the high frequencies or the low frequencies
• Freeze – Sample and loop a fraction of the played waveform, creating a glitching effect
• Levels – Decrease the gain or drive the signal

Its also possible to edit advanced parameters like the start point, sample length, attack/decay and run mode, and create mute groups without breaking a sweat. Finally, thanks to the 4 CV inputs, any of the effects (or advanced parameters) can be assigned to create amazing modulations!

CV/Gate and MIDI Interface

Rample is designed to be the perfect rhythmic companion of your eurorack system thanks to its Gate (trig samples) and CV (modulate samples) connectivity.

You can also use it as a standalone MIDI machine, without using the CV/Gate connectivity: the midi in port allows you to trig and control all samples parameters + effects values at the same time. Each Rample comes with a stereo jack to MIDI DIN and stereo jack to jack adapters, easing the chaining of multiple modules in order to create an 8-voice, 12-voice, 16-voice (or more) MIDI drum machine!
