  • put the micro SD inside the SD adapter and insert it in your computer
  • drag the "rample.bin" file into the micro SD card (do not change the file name)
  • insert the SD card in Rample
  • power on Rample while pressing/holding the encoder and wait a few seconds
  • please verify the new version number (displayed in the SETTINGS > INFO menu)

Recommendations:
  • in case of any problems when running samples (glitches, latency, noisy sounds, save/load sample fail, ...) please read this FAQ entry.

rampleOS 2.00
Feb 15, 2024

Breaking changes
  • Latency greatly improved
  • Audio effects parameters can be modulated with a faster frequency
  • No more audio clics (when playing a sample, when loading a kit, ...)
  • Redesigned effect FREEZE: improved the granular algo to make the sound softer and more homogeneous
  • Redesigned effect BITCRUSHER: greater range
  • Chromatic notes quantizing (for pitch) is now more accurate
  • Output levels now in dB instead of using linear volume (allowing a better dynamic when playing samples with a midi controller, where the velocity controls the volume of the sample)
  • Parameters START POINT and LENGTH can be set to exponential (for allowing more precise fine-tuning when these parameters are around low values). It's now possible to get very short sample LENGTH to create faster/glitchier sounds (SETTINGS > SLICER > EXP must be enabled).
New features
  • CC98 = instant kit number selection
  • New vu-meter: INPUTS (displays the cv inputs voltages on screen)
  • when holding ASSIGN and selecting a kit to be loaded, this new kit will keep the FX parameters of the previous kit
  • New setting SLICER = 1/128 (sample is divided into 128 equal parts, for START POINT and sample LENGTH quantizing)
Bug fixes
  • FX parameter hook issue when rotating fast a pot
  • Assign CV input to sample LAYERS : more precise selection (and last layer now easier to select)
  • Fixed crash when playing a 24-bit layer
  • When receiving a new CC for changing params, holding a switch was making it momentary
  • End of stereo file was sometime noisy
  • Kit selected samples layers were lost after a SAVE SETTINGS

Bug fixes
  • Playing long .wav files was looping the end of the playback in an infinite loop
  • Voice can't be trigged if freeze has been enabled and loop mode = GATE ON

  • Settings: VELOCITY and PITCHBEND options are now enable when leaving the selection (safe scroll)

  • Improved CLASSIC and WAVED vu-meters
  • Code optimization
New features

    Misc
