Rossum Electro-Music Assimil8or

Eight-channel multi-timbral phase modulation sampler

28 HP Eurorack module

The Assimil8or is a powerful eight-channel sampler designed by Dave Rossum for Eurorack modular synthesis. Each channel has its own gate/trigger input, three assignable CV inputs, and a dedicated monophonic output, with all channels optionally summed to a stereo mix bus. The module features 422MB of sample memory freely allocatable between channels, 24-bit A/D and D/A conversion, and a unique phase modulation capability that allows samples to be timbral-modulated by external analog signals or by other samples. Up to 8 zones per channel enable CV-controlled sample selection, while extensive channel modes (Master, Link, Cycle, Stereo/Right, and Crossfade Groups) allow complex multi-channel interactions.

Features

  • Eight independent sample playback channels with dedicated gate/trigger inputs
  • 24 freely assignable CV inputs (3 per channel row) routable to any parameter on any channel
  • Unique phase modulation of samples by external analog signals or other sample channels
  • 422MB sample memory freely allocatable, supports 8/16/24/32-bit mono or stereo WAV at 48/96/192kHz
  • Eight zones per channel for CV-controlled sample selection with configurable voltage ranges
  • Channel modes: Master, Link (layering), Cycle (round-robin), Stereo/Right, Crossfade Groups
  • Up to 4 Crossfade Groups with 2-8 channels each, crossfaded under CV control
  • Built-in sampling with threshold triggering, CV triggering, and circular recording mode
  • Per-channel Mutate controls: variable bit depth (1-32 bits), aliasing, reverse, and smoothing
  • Envelope per channel with attack (instantaneous to 99s) and release, plus Auto trigger mode
  • Loop modes: Off, Normal, Gated with independent start point and end/length modes
  • One-shot and Gated play modes with Latch option for sustained playback
