DISSIDENTS SAMPLE WRENCH

Early sampling was not easy. Recording, editing, looping, and mapping samples was performed on the hardware sampler itself, with little visual feedback, at most a 2-digit hexadecimal display! Fortunately, the sample-happy musos of yore could try Sample Wrench. Once a commercial product, this Windows sample editor allows users to import and export waveforms, perform a variety of edits and then spit them back out to the computer’s hard drive or to a hardware sampler. It’s decidedly dated, a little clunky and yet still quite useful, particularly if you’ve an old hardware sampler hanging around. dissidents.com/products.htm
