[sdiy] Drum sample playback

[Richie Burnett]

That's impressive!

It's usually the resampling that takes the majority of CPU cycles with sample playback. So for a given amount of CPU power you can either have tons of voices that alias like hell when you transpose the samples or a quarter of those voices with nice clean detuning of the samples. I suspect this is where they might have cut corners.

Of course if you want to pitch up a Hi-hat sample and the playback module has crap resampling, then there's nothing to stop you transposing the sample in a decent audio processing package first before sticking it on the sd card.  (That's what I used to do with my old Akai S01 sampler that had crappy linear interpolation, and turned hi-hat samples into rustling paper bag sounds as soon as you touched the transpose control!)
