Sound Samplers
The first Sound Samplers for the TOS range of computers started to appear in 1987, possibly 1986. This is a non-exhaustive list of those Samplers and Sample Editors*.
- *The term Sampler will be used hereafter, commonly evolved from the once termed Sound Digitiser, meaning both a software and hardware tool used for digitising smaller lengthed sounds for use in music. Not to be confused with Direct to Disk (D2D) recording, later to evolve to DAW (Digital Audio Workstations).
