AudioMaster II (and probably earlier versions as well) on the Amiga
had this. (It's a sample editor for 8 bit mono and stereo.) I've used
it on my first Amiga (a 500), and I got that one a few months after
the model was released. I don't know how long that program has been
around, but it could date back to the original Amiga 1000...
