    Doesn‘t have to be vinyl. This move just came from hiphop producers in the 90‘s , to get longer loops in the sampletime-limited machines.
    The pitched sample goes thru the analog-digital converters, filters, 12bit resolution. Then, pitched down to taste or original speed, it got its own magic, sounds different. Add tape sound to this & u get kind of a 90‘s recipe

    Looks promising, as the developer seems to have knowledge of the different aspects of that particular soundscape:

    Quote:“
    SAMPLING FREQ DIRT this simulates the sampling frequency sort off. At low levels you will get a crunchy noisy sound akin to having a low sampling frequency – higher levels will give a more high quality, less noisy sound. eg. putting it on the lowest setting with the bitrate at 8 bits will give a sound comparable to extremely lo-fi samplers such as the Casio SK1, Amiga or Ensoniq Mirage. High settings with the bitrate set at 16 will give emulate the sound of hifi sound samplers such as the S950, S1000, Roland S750 etc.

    FILTER– A simple filter to smoothen the harshness of lower bitrates, gives the sound a pleasant warm feeling

    MEMORY CRUSH – Also known as the ’45 RPM + 6,7% pitch trick’ – early samplers had very little sampling memory sometimes just 2 seconds! To make longer samples from vinyl records the record would be sampled at high speeds and then slowed down in the sampler to its original speed – giving a rougher, crispy and more sketched sound in the process.

    D-A WARMTH – emulates the extra punch of certain sampler Digital-to-Analog conversion circuits and all that comes with that (compression & EQ tricks that give “character” to the sampler)

    SAMPLE GAIN – emulates, sort of the normalization function of a sampler can also be used as a simple volume function. Entangled with the sampling input function“ end quote

    nice tool thank you for showin...but 8 bit and 12 bit seems not to work so good on buss....but 16 bit is all right...
    but maybe 8 bit worx great on bass or drum insert...

    it gave reverb some magic on one of my projects...on master buss test( drum buss+bass+sample)

    Hotdamm, was not expecting this at all~! Ran some drum loops through it and immediately some godforsaken bushido warrior jumped out of my speakers and bitch slapped me like I'm a 2dollar geisha..:bow: This thing seriously packs a punch, can achieve some major warmth, the stereo knob is a killer touch, 8bit is rediculous fatness, cranking the input makes some nasty gains, every adjustable feature is amazing and can really get a wide range of sounds out of this thing. I don't know who made it, but they certainly seemed angry or something... adding some extra saturation plugins really made it come alive also. Unreal, many thanks for the links on this!!

    bruh.., did you even play with it? master buss test with a vintage sampler?,is that a thing? If you chop and mangle sounds with this it could surely sound close to the old 12bit samples imo:wink:

    Glad u like it that much, pleasure to help.
    And i don‘t even got Ableton. Maybe one day i try.
    And yes i owned a s950, but used it for drum & loop sound coloring only, works wonders soundwise, had to sell it due to money issues, so allways on the hunt for more info on 12bit sampler emulations. Great thread

    This may be another interesting try on oldschool grit: In the Arturia collection is this Fairlight CMI V included, as it is a sampler, you can load your own samples into it, have to try it myself soon.
