Alm Busy Circuits ALM050 Stem Ripper

The Stem Ripper is a compact 8 channel audio recorder designed for immediate full patch recording without the need for external hardware. Capture all audio stems of a patch with ease.

Patch stems are recorded directly to a micro SD card which can then be easily transferred to a computer to mix, edit or archive patches. Each input is recorded as an individual track in a 16bit 44.1kHz multichannel date stamped WAV file. Record time is limited only by SD card size. Two additional tracks within the output WAV contain a configurable stereo mix down of the inputs.

The module has large 20Vpp per input headroom with LED clip indication if exceeded.

An optional 2HP ‘Thru’ output expander duplicates the 8 inputs to a row of unbuffered outputs, eliminating the potential need for stacking patch cables at the expense of more case real estate.

A suitable 64Gb SD card is included with the unit.
