  There are at least two direct-to-disk sample recorders for the Atari ST,
and seeing that the ST and the Amiga are not too different, I would assume
that it is entirely possible on the Amiga.  According to several reviews and
ads, these samplers are able to keep up with four-channel CD-quality sound
(math works that out to be around 176Khz).  But you had better have a
_REALLY BIG_ hard disk to do any type of large-scale sampling with that
beast (only 400 Seconds == 6.75 minutes on a 1Gb drive!)
