== Overview ==
The first Sound Samplers for the [[TOS Family|TOS range]] of computers started to appear in 1986.  This is a non-exhaustive list of those Samplers* and Sample Editors**, to serve as a catalogue.
* *The term [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_sampler Sampler] will be used hereafter, commonly evolved from the once termed Sound Digitiser, in this context meaning a tool used for digitising sound, typically shorter in length.  Not to be confused with Multitrack Hard Disk (HD) / Direct to Disk (D2D) recording, later to evolve to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_audio_workstation Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs)], however some listed here, although not full blown DAWs, are the beginnings of what we now associate with the term, offering D2D.
* **Lastly, to distinguish, Sample Editors are those that only edit samples, and therefore do not sample (i.e do not create digital sounds via an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog-to-digital_converter ADC]).  However editing is naturally a feature of Samplers.
== Inclusions ==
* Samplers
* Sample Editors
* MIDI Sample Editors
* Sound Generators
* D2D software where no multitrack recording is offered, intrinsic to Samplers, although not exclusive by modern standards
== Exclusions ==
* D2D multitrack recorders (early DAWs)
* Universal Patch Editors / Librarians
* Samplers and Sample Editors included in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_tracker Digital Trackers], as these are deemed a feature of the Tracker

Sound Samplers / Editors for the Atari TOS Family

Overview

The first Sound Samplers for the TOS range of computers started to appear in 1986. This is a non-exhaustive list of those Samplers* and Sample Editors**, to serve as a catalogue.

  • *The term Sampler will be used hereafter, commonly evolved from the once termed Sound Digitiser, in this context meaning a tool used for digitising sound, typically shorter in length. Not to be confused with Multitrack Hard Disk (HD) / Direct to Disk (D2D) recording, later to evolve to Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs), however some listed here, although not full blown DAWs, are the beginnings of what we now associate with the term, offering D2D.
  • **Lastly, to distinguish, Sample Editors are those that only edit samples, and therefore do not sample (i.e do not create digital sounds via an ADC). However editing is naturally a feature of Samplers.

Inclusions

  • Samplers
  • Sample Editors
  • MIDI Sample Editors
  • Sound Generators
  • D2D software where no multitrack recording is offered, intrinsic to Samplers, although not exclusive by modern standards

Exclusions

  • D2D multitrack recorders (early DAWs)
  • Universal Patch Editors / Librarians
  • Samplers and Sample Editors included in Digital Trackers, as these are deemed a feature of the Tracker
