Kinda of as an after though when they became cheaper
I bought a cheap one called megalosound.

I had a technosound, mainly because everyone had a sampler & it was the thing to have.

The sound quality was pretty bad, but then that may have been the source quality.... vinyl/audio cassette/tv.

Later on I had a aura 16 bit pcmcia sampler for the A1200 and by then I had a portable cd player, so the results were a lot better. However the pcmcia connector on it was made of a really soft plastic, and I needed to swap it with another peripheral. Which ended up destroying the connector on the sampler and the A1200. At some point I hope to get that fixed.

The best thing about that one was that it had a hard disk record function, which allowed me to record the backwards episode of red dwarf. I then wrote a program in C that reversed the entire file. My video recorder at the time could do perfect 1x rewind but without sound, it was just a case of syncing the two together.

Of course in the modern era it's just a matter of going on youtube.

I don't know how may people did that, but the bit at 5:40 made me think I was probably in a minority in the 90's.

I slowed down babylon zoo's spaceman as well.

I was always disappointed that there wasn't a program like cooledit, that worked with all samplers.
