Sampler

Play a loaded recording back as an instrument. Wire a File Input into its Sample input, then Play/Loop it. Plays the ACTUAL recording (with its attack + character) — unlike the Wavetable, which captures only a single-cycle timbre from the same file. The Sample input is a DATA link (it reads the file's buffer, no audio streams across it); transport (play/loop) is kernel params. Shape its amplitude over time by drawing the GAIN ENVELOPE right on the waveform — a kernel-owned automation curve (the same editor the Curve node uses); fade-in/out are just points on it. Materialises as a GainNode output that a buffer source feeds.
