do you know such a sampler ? I am looking for one

Post

What do you mean? Are you referring to sampler aliasing?

If you don't want any interpolation just lock the samples to the root note the source was sampled to. Most samplers will let you do this in various ways. It of course means you need to have multi-gigabyte librares that have sampled the source at every note and every velocity layer.

I only know of Sampler (not simpler) in Ableton live. Maybe some old obscure vst sampler somewhere?

What does 'no interpolation' means?

It means you'll hear artifacts when transposing samples like aliasing. There are different interpolation methods in dealing with that. I guess the original poster is looking for a lo-fi sound.

Kontakt has three interpolation modes: Normal (has aliasing with wide zone stretching), High (much less aliasing), Perfect (no aliasing at all, but it's not really usable in realtime with a lot of voices).

One of life's little mysteries,you're not looking for a sampler without interpolation,that wouldn't output any sound at all in most cases. What you're looking for is zero order hold interpolation or nearest neighbor. The Ensoniq Mirage had it so i would assume the Morgana has it. But it's still interpolation.

nearest neighbor
exactly. thank you. if any of you stumbled upon this type of interpolation please let me know where. old trackers had this

thank you

Out of curiousity, what's the point of this kind of interpolation (soundwise) ?
(googling a bit I could mostly only find non Audio-related stuff)

Perhaps getting gritty sounds :) A bit degrader effect could give similar effects.

Authenticity. If it's to sound like an old tracker, the algo has to be similar.

You can download Jeskola Buzz and use Matilde Tracker. It has a no interpolation algorithm.

Remember to set filter mode to zero under machine attributes.

if anybody is interested check "Tobey Bear InstrumentBag" it is a free bundle and it contains a sampler with the option to do nearest neighbour interpolation. the sampler is called Helios.
