Analogue Systems RS290
A Eurorack sampler-delay module with 5.5 seconds of stereo delay and six operational modes
Overview
The Analogue Systems RS290 is a Eurorack sampler-delay module for modular synths. It works as a stereo delay and a sampler, and it has six modes of operation. You can use it on stage or in the studio. MIDI, analogue clocks and triggers can all be assigned by the user, and the CV inputs calculate the delay time precisely. The RS295 Expander adds to what it can do.

Design
The RS290 is built around its six modes, and the inputs, controls and menus are laid out for use in a modular rig. Inside is a CS4223 Cirrus Logic 24-bit audio codec and a 3.3V regulator. Control can be assigned to MIDI, analogue clocks and triggers, and CV feeds the delay calculation. It works with the RS295 Expander.
Context
Users have compared the RS290 favorably to established delays like the Doepfer A-188-1D and the MF-104 Moogerfooger, calling it "an awesome delay." One owner described it as a "Mighty combo of Echo/Delay/Sampling/Ruling-of-the-Universe."
