`21.Apr.2024` Mastodon	Windows/Linux/Mac OS: Ami Sampler 0.7 As the name suggests, "Ami Sampler" is a VSTi 8-bit sampler that is intended to come close to its Amiga role models on other systems and thus combine this nostalgia with modern digital audio workstations. The range of functions therefore also includes replicas of the 4.4 kHz 6 dB/octave low-pass filter of the Amiga 500 and the 3.1 kHz 12 dB/octave low-pass filter of the Amigas 500 and 1200 as well as a "Paula switch". The latter is inspired by the custom chip's limitation of only being able to pan hard left or hard right, which allows the Amiga to produce unique wide-sounding pads when multiple channels play the same sample as a chord. The Paula switch creates a similar affect by alternating the pan for each note played by the sample; almost like an autopan except the notes are sustained instead of shifting back and forth. When in "Paula mode", the channel pan control becomes a stereo width from -100 wide to +100 wide; when in Mono mode, "Paula" is disabled since the effect is for chords. (snx) [News message: 21.
