Amigo Sampler - 8-Bit Amiga Style Sampler Plugin

[Zoopy]

This is one of the few sample slicers that has a Play-Thru option and I would love if yall could add a hi-fidelity/non-amiga mode. Ableton Simpler and Redux are really the only samplers that have this play-thru option that are recently maintained/not-horrendous. As someone who is trying to get away from Ableton, Simpler is reallly the only thing I can't find a replacement for.. Amigo is sooo close but I don't always want the crunch, but yeah I get it. <3

Renoise also has playthrough .
So does tal sampler etc…
If you don’t mind doing it manually , every sampler can do it , you just set each slice end marker to the end adress of the sample

Yep Redux is great!
And those other options don't really work for me for a variety of reasons

TAL-Sampler is great. It's basically the expanded Amigo we're asking for.

auto slice is kinda garbage on TAL and it's just not simple enough, and don't think the UI is bad at all but it's just not for me. I want speeeeeeeeed.

Yes, you're right. I'm grateful to have 32kHz now, stereo is the only feature I'm still wishing for.

I'm pretty sure TAL-Sampler doesn't have auto-slice?

It doesn't. Also personally I find the new interface so off-putting that I've pretty much stopped using it. Amigo is way more fun.

I agree, the new interface is terrible, makes it unusable, and you're better off just forgetting about it.

...can I have it?

What's this playthrough being mentioned?

I'm with what others are saying here too, after looking at Tal. I'm much preferring Amigo, the simplicity of just those features I wanted it for.

Sorry I was thinking of TAL-Drum, but yeah. It just doesn't work very well in my testing but maybe I'm missing something.

What's this playthrough being mentioned?

It plays the entire sample with the slices as start points, it's just a nice old-school way of slicing up breaks and such, keeps the original groove of the sample, fun to retrigger etc. Rather than playing quantized slices into midi, you kinda tap slices in time with the original sample as it plays to get funkier/groovier stuff.

also a giant fan of the 32khz added to amigo, such a great product

What I'd like, but it's probably super niche to the point where I'm the only one who'd use it, is polyphony in Slice mode... so I can take a drum break loop and turn it into a drum kit ...as was common with Amiga music.

That's not niche at all, I didn't even realize poly wasn't available in Slice mode! This is something I definitely want as well! Even when chopping breakbeats, there are still parts where I want notes to crossover with each other or be playing at the same time.

You could hop around the sample using ... uhh, what was that command ... yes I remembered right, 9xx on Protracker. "Example: C-300923 Play sample C-3 from offset $2300".
This approach would rob precious effect space from the note row itself though, so if one wanted to have more effects per sample and save memory, one would chop the drums to new sample slots and discard the full loop sample.

It is pretty fun watching people say the TAL sampler UI is bad in an Amigo thread, you know, that VST that actually copies the look of Octamed on a low res TV screen.

[revvy]

It's super fun, isn't it?

*chuckle*

Love me a bit of lo-res TV. I remember Rainbow, was a great show.

They are not referring to the quality, but rather the fact that he completely rearranged the sections after the initial design. Made it complete pain to use. The original design was miles better.

In this regard amigos is a way better design / more intuitive/ quicker to operate
