Sampler not Whitman's
2000-09-18 by binky beetlebaum
My module thought du jour: I want a sampler module. Here's my feature set as I so far see it. 1. Low fi. Maybe slightly better than a Casio SK synth. I say this because it adds coloration to the sampled sound, which I consider a good thing. & it keeps cost down. & it allows room for 2. A goodly number of samples. I'm thinking at least eight, preferably of a decent length, organized into two banks. Why two banks? Well then you could have a setup for a way to 3. Morph between samples on the two banks a la the various vector synths--a simpler implementation perhaps but same basic gist. Of course you could do the same thing from a separate module if you had indie outs for the two banks. 4. It would be interesting to have a time stretch /compress type feature with maybe four settings: 0 (off), 1 (sample plays at same length throughout), & a couple of in between settings for jollies. 5. The usual stuff: input attenuator, sample loop, v/oct in, gate in, some nice LED's. I have to admit I know very little about the workings of samplers, so I have no idea how doable any of this is. & now I will make my way back to the land of the Luddites(new from sid & marty kroft!!!) tomr _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
