instant sampler

The plugin could be named "audio copy-paster" or "snippet looper", but I choose to call it InstantSampler because it does what a simple 'normal' sampler does (playing audio fragments by MIDI notes), but it takes its samples (instantly) from the audio input whenever you hit a specific MIDI note for the first time. Every consecutive time you hit the same MIDI-note, it plays back the recorded fragment (or shorter, depending on the note's length).

So, is this plugin an instrument (as the name 'sampler' might suggest), or an effect? Technically, it is an effect, but one that is controlled using MIDI. But, in Logic for instance, it is considered to be an instrument, played with MIDI, while having an audio side-chain input. The bottomline is: It needs both audio - and MIDI input!

When you play the sampled fragments, you have the possibility to vary the following:

velocity - Playback volume.
attack and release - Both attack & release times are configurable.
floor - The level of the input audio which is passed along unaffected when no samples are played.
playback speed - Speed up or - down the sample playback using the pitchbend control with a configurable range.
reverse playback - Playback in reverse ... this might sound a bit tricky at first, so look at the figure first (you might get it right away).
