i’ve been talking to a guy who has a rample… not sure he’s on lines, but he told me that for now rample has a problem of freezing up after a few minutes. seems to be some kind of bug that he’s waiting for squarp to fix at the moment.

Oof, that’s quite the bug. I was curious about the decision to stream samples from the SD card rather than loading them to RAM. Not sure if that’s related, but if so it makes me a little more hesitant to grab one.

Really good to know, thank you!

I’ve got one (as does @headphonic). I have run it for hours with no issues, but I have also seen some glitchiness here and there. No definite repro steps yet, but it seems to maybe happen when I give it a lot of really fast (BPM, not length) gates and the sound bank is set to something with longer samples. Going to spend some more time with it this week to see if I can fine a consistent set of steps to cause the glitchiness.

i havent spent quite as much time with it as id like, but have not noticed any issues as of yet.

FWIW im really digging it thus far. I feel its far easier to assign CV to FX than the sample drum and is therefore a bit more immediate in regards to departing from the original sound. Rample also feel a bit easier to load kits and get going. there is no set up time at all.

the SD will always win out in regards to slicing though.

@instantjuggler! good to see you on here. yeah, there’s an unfortunate bug with my rample that i can’t seem to get around at the moment. according to this thead, it sounds like it is just my module - which is a relief. if i send the module constant gate triggers, it freezes right around the 3 minute mark, every time. This happens with the preset samples and my own imported samples. waiting to hear back from squarp… but its a great module besides that ha.

haha! yes, wondered if you were on lines! strangely, the behavior you describe is exactly the same as i got out of a new 2hp play module last week! i returned it for another one, just need a very simple sample playing but no luck yet. hoping it was just my unit and hoping your rample was also a one-unit problem.

Lmao, 2HP Play is buggy too!? Damn. Starting to regret selling the Sample Drum!! Also need a decent sample player.

I’m a bit tempted by 1010’s upcoming Bitbox Micro.

Looks quite good, price is significantly higher though!

#24

Just had a deeper look, the extra price is very justified. Great looking module.

It’s not that much pricier, actually. Plus does granular as well as “straight” sample playback.

Not sure it does slices in the same way as the Sample Drum, mind, so I may not be replacing that one, even if I do get a Bitbox Micro.

One major drawback I just noticed is only 8 inputs. So that’s 8 gates for the 8 pads or 2 inputs for sampling 3 for gates 3 for cv and. Regardless it seems the midi input is needed to get the most out of this module.

#27

Hmm…so, left the rack running last night and came back to it today to find the rample totally glitched out and the “screen” just solidly red. @alexroldan, is that what you see as well?

Ooh, that looks enticing. Would like to see if it’s menu divey, or if the tools and settings are just gravy. Also if it has an internal mixer. 8 outs is nice but I’d also like to see a mix out.

#29

@micahsaul sometimes solid red, sometimes not. here’s the video i sent to squarps support team the other day (i edited it to the last 10 seconds to get to the point), but this was after around 3 minutes. these are 4 samples being triggered by the strymon magneto’s 4 gate outs. https://imgur.com/a/kwosziG

Interesting. What happens when you try to rotate the bank select encoder? Mine tries to display the bank, but gets super wonky and flashes a bunch.

#31

after it freezes, i can select a bank but it just goes to a blank screen with two dots on the upper right, unable to play back the samples until i reset the power

#32

Ok, two different bugs then. I’mma send them a support message tomorrow.

@alexroldan Did your issue ever get cleared up? They were having some issues with their support email, but I finally got through and my Rample is now working fine. Somehow the SD card got corrupted (so I might have a second one as backup going forward) but once I reformatted things were back to normal.
