a device that can record, store, edit, and play back samples at different pitches or volumes, and with different effects
a device that records fragments of audio and lets you play them back on a MIDI keyboard or on drum machine pads or electronic drums
an electronic instrument that uses digital recordings to either reconstruct existing instruments or build new ones
an electronic musical instrument An electronic musical instrument is a musical instrument that produces its sounds using electronics
an electronic musical instrument that uses stored audio signal samples, generally recordings of existing sounds , and plays them back at a range of pitches
a sound module or keyboard which has digitally recorded "real" sounds in its memory banks which it plays back when you play on its keys or send it MIDI signals
a type of musical instrument which allows you to record and play samples
a very important instrument in the manufacturing process in various industries
An electronic device used to play back an digital recording, whether acoustic or electronic. Feeding a sound into a sampler as a means of recording it is called "sampling."
An electronic music instrument that supports the recording and playback of digital samples.
Electronic device that digitizes, stores and plays back sounds.
A device that records and plays samples, often with features to edit and store the samples.
Also called a digital sampler, this is a type of synthesizer with actual recorded sounds that are stored in computer memory.
A device used to imitate the sound of conventional instruments using actual digital recordings of the instrument. Also used to sample sections of existing recordings for use in new productions (see ‘MCPS’). Can also be used to facilitate the recording process.
A device capable of recording, musically transposing,... ( more)
an electronic device that can record, alter and playback digital audio data under the control of a MIDI data stream.
A hardware device or software application that uses Sample s as it's main method of generating it's audio output. Samplers often use a number of samples together to create realistic sounding reproductions of real sounds and musical instruments. For more details on this technique, see Wavetable Synthesis.
A musical instrument that uses recorded sounds (samples) as the basis for creating, synthesizing and generating music.
An instrument that records and plays back samples, usually by allowing them to be distributed across a keyboard and played back at various pitches.
A sampler is an electronic music instrument closely related to a synthesizer. Instead of generating sounds from scratch, however, a sampler starts with multiple recordings (or “samplesâ€) of different sounds, and then plays each back based on how the instrument is configured. Because these samples are usually stored in RAM, the information can be quickly accessed.
