Rossum Electro Music Assimil8or

Designed to provide a powerful, flexible sampling engine for modular synthesis, the Rossum Electro Music Assimil8or multi-timbral phase modulation sampler module is the latest incarnation of Dave Rossum’s decades-long pioneering of affordable professional sampling technology.

Assimil8or provides eight independent channels of sampling with sound quality that can range from extremely hi-fi to low fi, all with extensive real-time CV control.

Features:

• Eight-channel multi-timbral operation. Each channel will be available from its own independent output as well as appearing in the stereo mix output
• Superb 24-bit A/D and D/A conversion
• Mono or stereo sampling, channels can be configured as eight mono voices, four stereo voices, or any combination
• The ability to assign up to 8 samples to each channel and select between them in real time via CV
• DC coupling through the signal path for sampling of control voltages
• Unique timbral capabilities with the ability to phase modulate samples by external analog signals or by other samples
• Variable sample fidelity with independently selectable sample rate and bit depth
• Real-time CV control of bit depth
• Real-time CV control of aliasing (from virtually none to lots)
• Extensive sample manipulation and looping capabilities
• Sample scrubbing under CV control
• One-shot or gated sample playback with variable attack and release times
• Gate/trigger inputs and CV inputs for each sample that can be assigned independently for each channel to virtually any sample parameter
• A front panel accessible SD card for sample and preset storage

Specifications:

• Sample memory: 2,300 seconds at 48 kHz mono, freely allocatable between the 8 channels
• Sample rates: 48, 96, and 192 kHz
• A/D & D/A: 24-bit
• Internal processing: 32-bit
• Latency: 100 microseconds at the Mix Outputs; 180 microseconds at the Individual Output
• Power requirements: ±12 V via 16-pin, Doepfer-style connector
• Current draw: 220 mA +12 V 30 mA -12 V
