Everything about Rompler

Electronic musical instrument

A rompler is an electronic musical instrument that plays pre-fabricated sounds based on audio samples. The term rompler is a blend of the terms ROM and sampler. In contrast to samplers, romplers do not record audio. Both may have additional sound editing features, such as layering several waveforms and modulation with attack, decay, sustain and release envelopes (ADSR), filters and low-frequency oscillators (LFO).
