Samplers
Samplers are most of the time synthesizers but with the difference that you can sample or make your own sound and put that thru the synthesizer engine.
This way you can make unique sounds !
In time it started with lofi sounding samplers because the memory was very limited and very expensive. Also the bitrate was low because of the technique at the time. As with all things, the development moved on and the quality got better aswell the capacity and the prices of memory.
You have now the power of software samplers in your computer but the sound and the power of that sound of the hardware (AD/DA converters, filters, synthesis) I think is still unparalleled. As with all the hardware it is dedicated for that purpose !
We also still love the grainyness and crunchyness of the 8 and 12 bit samplers.
But also with samplers...... time is there worst enemy and electrolytic capacitors are old and can be leaking or way out of spec.
Keep the hardware samplers alive and give some character to your song !
