Squarp Instruments Rample Turbo Eurorack Sampler Module

What we say about Squarp Rample Turbo...

A nice upgrade to Squarp's excellent sample-playing module! Rample Turbo offers better sound quality and faster loading than its predecessor. A great choice for bringing sample playback into your rack.

Squarp Rample Turbo Manufacturer's description

Rample Turbo retains the same design as its predecessor. To differentiate them more easily, the black faceplate now features updated print colors: red, yellow, green, and blue. On the back of the unit, a new holographic serial number label has been added — TURBO models start from serial number 3525.

While the HMI remains the same, the motherboard has undergone numerous changes in its circuitry.

The DAC, signal conditioning, and analog audio paths have been completely redesigned to deliver improved sound quality. The result is a more accurate and detailed sound, especially in the high frequencies. In addition, the background noise (or "hiss") present when no sample is playing has been significantly reduced, making the instrument more transparent in your mix.

Finally, this updated Rample includes a new SD card, offering faster sample loading and lower latency between trigger input and sample playback.

The specifications remain the same:

• 14HP
• 220mA from the +12V rail and 40mA from the -12V rail
• 25mm in depth with power ribbon cable
• 170g

The included accessories also remain the same (note that the SD card is now 8GB instead of 16GB, but more performant):

• 8GB micro SD Card + SD adapter
• 200+ sample kits from artists and sound designers
• Power ribbon cable
• User guide (English)
• MIDI cable adapters (DIN-mini TRS + mini TRS-mini TRS)
• 4x black screws

Workflow

• 4-voice sample player
• plays .wav files, organized as 'kits' inside the microSD card
• up to 2600 kits (A0 to Z99)
• no sample duration limit (can even plays several hours files)
• each voice has a 5-effect rack: bitcrusher, pitch (6-pole interpolator), filter, freeze, drive
• ... and more parameters: level, sample start point, length, attack/decay and run mode
• mute groups for each sample
• multilayers: each voice can be “multi-sampled” with up to 12 samples
• everything is controllable with the CV inputs or via midi in
• microSD preloaded with artists kits
• easy to create and import samples from the micro SD card

Inputs

• 4 Gate (for sample trig)
• 4 assignable CV to modulate effects parameters [-5V to +5V]
• 1 midi (control/sequence Rample, jack to din adapter included)

Outputs

• 4 dedicated audio outputs (mono, DC-coupled = can play CV signals) [-5V to +5V]
• 1 audio mix output (unplugged audio outputs are normalled to "mix" with volume control)
• 1 midi thru (for Rample chaining, jack to jack cable included)

User interface

• 4 high-quality potentiometers for playing with effects and parameters
• 6 push buttons
• menu clickable encoder
• red matrix screen
• microSD card slot to read your kits and upgrade the OS (SD card included)
