Rample
4-voice sample player and audio processor. Plays .wav files from microSD card organized into kits, with up to 12 layers per voice, per-voice effects (pitch, bits, filter, freeze, drive), master compressor and tape effects, 4 gate inputs, 4 assignable CV inputs, and MIDI input.265

- 265
- Tape Emulationtape-emulation
- Tape parameter: master flutter/wobble effect applying LFO to sample playback speed with randomized frequency and amplitude.265
- V/Octave Pitch Controlv-oct-pitch
- CV inputs can be assigned to V/oct mode for chromatically quantized pitch control. Uses a modulo rule across the 10V range since each sample spans only 2 octaves (24 semitones).265
- Varispeed Playbackvarispeed-playback
- Resampling-based pitch knob (6-pole interpolator) ties speed to pitch — increasing speed raises pitch and shortens duration; decreasing speed lowers pitch and lengthens.265

Parameters 15
| Name | Type | Range | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| % Compress | menu_setting | 0% – 200% | Sets the compressor amount. Must be above 0% to enable the compressor. Available preset models: Glue, Peak Limiter, Slow Opto, Drum Transient, Punchy VCA, Leveling Amp, Parallel, Aggressive Limiter FET, and Mastering.265 |
| Bits | knob | — | Two bitcrushing algorithms: sample rate reduction and resolution reduction. Produces distortion and warmth. Press ② to select.265 |
| CV IN | menu_setting | — | Selects the CV input voltage range: 0V to 5V or -5V to 5V.265 |
| Env | knob | — | Bipolar envelope control: turn left to add attack, turn right to add decay.265 |
| Filter | knob | — | 265 |
| Freeze | knob | — | Loops a portion of the currently playing waveform when potentiometer is not at midpoint. CCW (algo 1): captures a short snippet and loops it ping-pong style. CW (algo 2): captures a longer snippet and loops a fraction of the original sample, good for rhythmic loops or granular glitch. Can also be triggered by a CV gate via T-F assignment.265 |
| LAYER | menu_setting | — | Sets the default layer playback mode for unsaved kits: MANUAL, RANDOM, CYCLIC, REVERSE CYCLIC, or VELOCITY.265 |
| Length | knob | 0% – 100% | Sets the duration of sample playback. In EXP mode, goes from 100% down to 0% of total sample length. In beat-division modes, sample is divided into equal parts for beat-aligned editing.265 |
| Levels/Drive | knob | — | Controls voice gain and drive. 0–50% increases clean gain; 50–100% adds clean gain plus analog-style saturation. Turn left to decrease gain.265 |
| Pitch | knob | -1octave – 1octave | Resampling-based pitch shift using a 6-pole interpolator. Increasing speed raises pitch and shortens duration; decreasing speed lowers pitch and lengthens duration.265 |
| PITCH | menu_setting | — | Enables or disables chromatic quantization of the pitch effect, affecting both potentiometer and CV-assigned pitch control.265 |
| Run Mode | menu_setting | — | 3 playback modes: one shot (trig plays sample entirely), toggle loop (trig alternately plays/stops sample), gate high only (sample plays only while gate is high).265 |
| SLICER | menu_setting | — | Sets the quantizing method for START POINT and LENGTH parameters. Options: EXP (256 parts, fine-grained) or beat divisions /8, /16, /32, /64, /128, /12, /24, /48.265 |
| Start | knob | 0% – 100% | Sets the beginning of sample playback. In EXP slicer mode, goes from 0% to 100% of sample total length. In beat-division modes (/8, /16, /32, /64, /128, /12, /24, /48), sample is divided into equal parts for beat-aligned editing.265 |
| Tape | menu_setting | 0 – 127 | Master tape flutter/wobble effect. Applies LFO to sample playback speed with randomized frequency and amplitude. Single macro (0-127) sweeps LFO frequency and depth combinations.265 |
