What is the problem?
the sample-editor is currently missing some basic utility effects.
What should this feature achieve?
the render-selection-and-load workflow, being as convenient as it is, opens up many sound-design possibilities, especially when using the sample-editor - stacking sounds becomes quick and easy.
this invites a lot of signal-processing tricks playing with things like (stereo-)phase-cancellation, getting the difference of two (effected) signals, etc.
when applied repeadetly we should be able to “re-create” most sound-effects, even create our own ones.
the least we are missing for that are two effects:
- sample-/micro-delay
delay in samples, maybe microseconds - phase invert
left, right, both
some additional utility:
- stereo util
L/R invert, width (0-100%) - sample-rate

Are there any workarounds?
micro-delay can be achieved by micro-moving the trigger of the resampled sound while playing it at a lower speed, then resampling and again after pitching it back up to its original speed. however, precise changes are hard, sample-delay is basically impossible and pattern-length places some length-limits on the to-be-processed sample.
changes in stereo-width and sample-rate reduction have more straightforward workarounds which i probably don’t need to detail
Any links to related discussions?
nope
Any references to other products?
many DAWs have stock-plugins combining such utility features
