Created on 12 October 2025. Built it in Bitwig Studio v4.0. See notes below. Enjoy!
Here is a sampler-based 'historic media' recreation tool. It's operation is very basic - open the preset grid editor and load an audio clip into the sampler. From there adjust the various controls to replicate a wide range of cyclic playback systems (Wax Cylinder, Vinyl Records and even Tape).
Pressing play starts the playback and the Time macro controls how fast or slowly the player starts up and stops.
Warning: can produce frequencies and volumes which may damage hearing, audio gear and speaker coils. Be kind to your ears and gear.
