Description
RetroSampler is a lo-fi sample player inspired by hardware samplers of the 90s. It features adjustable sample and bit rate, clock jitter control, low pass filter with drive control and integrated ADSR envelope. Lowering the sample rate will introduce a sought-after "ringing" effect that is not just a simple decimation effect: the resampling algorithm accurately follows the transposed pitch without interpolation.
Runs on 64bit Windows and Mac (Intel+Apple Silicon) systems.
