Sample-based synthesis
open-in-new
<p>Sample-based synthesis is a form of audio synthesis that can be contrasted to either <a href="/facts/Subtractive_synthesis/2Kk3TqUE">subtractive synthesis</a> or <a href="/facts/Additive_synthesis/N8bbwbEg">additive synthesis</a>. The principal difference with sample-based synthesis is that the seed waveforms are <a href="/facts/Sample_(signal)/xxck7aLN">sampled</a> sounds or instruments instead of fundamental waveforms such as <a href="/facts/Sine_wave/mD1CB09M">sine</a> and <a href="/facts/Saw_wave/3QA8wW0h">saw waves</a> used in other types of synthesis. </p>
