Product description Sample Mayhem, Now in High-Fidelity - Squarp’s Creative 4-Voice Sample Player Returns! Rample is back, now as a 'turbo' charged revision. Squarp's 4-voice sample player returns as the Rample mk2, keeping the same fantastic workflow but with a completely redesigned engine for better audio quality. So, what’s new this time around? Squarp has completely overhauled the DAC, signal conditioning, and analog audio paths. This new version delivers a more accurate and detailed sound, especially in the high frequencies. Furthermore, the background noise has been significantly reduced, making it far more transparent in your mix. To top it all off, a new, faster SD card is included, offering speedier sample loading and, crucially, lower latency between your trigger input and the sample playback. This new version is also identifiable by its updated black faceplate, which now features print in red, yellow, green, and blue. The core concept remains brilliantly simple: a high-quality, 4-voice sample player that supports samples of any length and multi-layers. Each of the four channels can be controlled via an individual gate input for triggering the samples. Whether it's breakbeats, the waveforms of your analog synth treasures, sound FX, backing tracks, or hour-long DJ sets, anything is possible and can be routed to Rample's individual outputs as one of four files in .wav format. If you select the individual output, the corresponding channel is removed from the mix output for the stereo sum. The display provides a VU meter as well as info on CV settings, routing, samples, etc. Below that, the four knobs and various push buttons can be used to set the various parameters, e.g., for editing (sample start, length, attack/decay, playback modes, etc.) and the five effects (pitch shifter, bitcrusher, DJ filter, glitchy freeze, levels/drive). These can be assigned to each voice simultaneously and together and are, thanks to the available 4 CV-Ins, a wonderful starting point for versatile-experimental modulations. Thanks to Multi-Layer Sampling options, up to 12 samples can be played for each voice in round-robin fashion to bring variation and complexity into play. Triggering synth-generated chords or field recordings can deliver highly creative results. Thanks to Rample's MIDI options (In/Thru), this world is of course also open to you for full parameter control or to chain multiple Ramples for even more sampling fun: DC-coupled outputs even make it possible to play CV waveforms like LFOs! By the way, the included micro SD card contains more than 200 kits, each with up to 48 different samples. Well-known artists like Overmono, Kangding Ray, Richard Devine, or Jimmy Edgar were responsible for the sound design, but of course, the storage space of the micro SD card is just waiting to be filled with your own creations. Not that this new SD card is now 8GB instead of 16, but it offers much faster sample loading and lower latency between trigger input and sample playback. A little tip: Even if sampling the Amen break or the Landlord staff is a natural and self-evident reflex and leads to great results under certain circumstances; why not dare to be more creative? Even the theme music of the slushy German 80s TV series "Schwarzwaldklinik" would appear in new splendor in the engine of the Rample...
