So I would say that a synthetic sound can be produced with both a classic waveform (sinus, square, sawtooth) and a sample. Keep in mind that most of these very short samples are useless on its own, only when you threat them as a complex wave form and synthesize them using filters, envelopes and modulation etc Wavetable synthesis is good example of applying sample technology in synthesis. The PPG Wave from Germany was the first commercially available wavetable synthesizer, should have been in the late 70's. It took until 1985 before Roland released the first synth (D-50) using rom-sampling technology in a way we still use it today in both hard and soft synths. --- Sjaak http://www.livelooping.be/ http://www.overgaauw.be/ http://www.myspace.com/sjaakovergaauw --- Reeds meer dan 2000 Scarlet klanten betalen geen abonnement meer!
