Sampler (musical instrument) to perform 4-channel resampling in realtime under usage of the Paula Chip on the Amiga. Since the early 1990s Trackers performed on PCs multi-track resampling in realtime as pure software solution. This was possible under the usage of highly optimized assembly code, an early example is the "InertiaPlayer" released in 1993. A recent PC Tracker with good sampler capabilities is for instance the "Renoise" Tracker.
