The Commodore Amiga was a popular personal computer in the late 80’s that, among other things made possible for people at home to sample and create music on a budget. During that era, studio equipment was prohibitively expensive for most people, so Amiga’s sampling capabilities had a huge impact on the early jungle, drum ’n’ bass and rave records.

Of course, due to the tiny amount of available memory and the old school audio converters these devices had, the sound was extremely crunchy with lots of aliasing artefacts. But to recreate this takes more than just putting a bit crusher, reducing the sample rate and calling it a day.

What I noticed when playing around with Amigo was that transposing samples had a very noticeable effect on their character, this is definitely not something you can do with a regular bit crusher, so it seems that emulates how the whole sampler engine, which is super cool for this low price.
