Sampler not Whitman's

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!!!)
