Rample

Squarp Instruments

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

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

NameTypeRangeBehavior
% Compressmenu_setting0% – 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
BitsknobTwo bitcrushing algorithms: sample rate reduction and resolution reduction. Produces distortion and warmth. Press ② to select.265
CV INmenu_settingSelects the CV input voltage range: 0V to 5V or -5V to 5V.265
EnvknobBipolar envelope control: turn left to add attack, turn right to add decay.265
Filterknob265
FreezeknobLoops 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
LAYERmenu_settingSets the default layer playback mode for unsaved kits: MANUAL, RANDOM, CYCLIC, REVERSE CYCLIC, or VELOCITY.265
Lengthknob0% – 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/DriveknobControls voice gain and drive. 0–50% increases clean gain; 50–100% adds clean gain plus analog-style saturation. Turn left to decrease gain.265
Pitchknob-1octave – 1octaveResampling-based pitch shift using a 6-pole interpolator. Increasing speed raises pitch and shortens duration; decreasing speed lowers pitch and lengthens duration.265
PITCHmenu_settingEnables or disables chromatic quantization of the pitch effect, affecting both potentiometer and CV-assigned pitch control.265
Run Modemenu_setting3 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
SLICERmenu_settingSets 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
Startknob0% – 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
Tapemenu_setting0 – 127Master 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
