They didn't have a sample and hold, so unless an external sample and hold were added, the successive approximation process would add distortion, but the quality would still be better than the speech on the "Let's Count" game I did for the Apple II in the 1980s. | |

| Aug 5, 2020 at 9:24 | comment | added | hippietrail | I saw my first sound sampler for the Amiga well before the A500 came out. It was at my local Amiga club in Melbourne Australia. I don't know if the guy designed and made them himself, sold them on behalf of a hardware geek friend who made them, or imported them. He had it hooked up to the first Sony CD Walkman I think I'd seen. Impressed the hell out of me. I had done low res sampling myself on the ZX Speccy but this was the first "perfect" sampling I ever heard when only the Fairlight CMI was known for such quality sampling. | |
