The DOS version uses sequenced music played back by either an internal speaker, the FM synthesis of an AdLib or Sound Blaster sound card, or the sample-based synthesis of a Roland MT-32 sound module.

It was not helped by the fact that it coincided with a sudden upsurge of chart success for dance tracks which were heavily sample-based and whose sound could not easily be reproduced in a TV studio – sampled vocals from other tracks had to be sung live.

The E-mu SP-1200 percussion sampler progressed Hip-Hop away from the drum machine sound upon its release in August 1987, ushering in the sample-based sound of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

He cited groups such as Kurtis Mantronik, Steinski, and Prince Paul as influences on his sample-based sound, further claiming that " lyrics (...) were confining, too specific ".

The album's sound is a mixture of sample-based tunes ( loops of Raymond Scott's " Powerhouse " on " Bus to Beelzebub ", Toots & the Maytals, Howlin ' Wolf, The Andrews Sisters, and The Roches on " Down To This ," and a loop of sampler player Mark De Gli Antoni's orchestral horns on " Screenwriters Blues " among others ), guitar based tunes like " Janine ," " Moon Sammy ," and " Supra Genius.

This machine and its unique sequencer ( both Roland and other manufacturers used either a grid-based sequencer, showing the dots on an LCD, or another method that did not display the pattern at all ) were the basis for so-called grooveboxes — self-contained compact synthesizer workstations with rudimentary keyboards and pattern-based sequencers, aimed at creators of electronic music, using sample-based sound generation and a number of realtime controls.

The Gravis UltraSound was unique at the time of its launch ( 1992 ) with its use of ' wavetable ' sample-based music synthesis technology on the IBM PC platform — the ability to use real-world sound recordings rather than artificial computer-generated waveforms to base a musical instrument on ; so a piano sounds like an actual real piano, a trumpet like an actual trumpet, etc.

Originally creating a sample-based proto-trip hop / ambient / electro-pop-styled music, No-Man has pursued a more organic, diverse and band-oriented sound in subsequent years.

Blue Lines was seen widely as the first major manifestation of a uniquely British hip hop movement, but the album's hit single " Unfinished Sympathy " and several other tracks, while their rhythms were largely sample-based, were not seen as hip hop songs in any conventional sense.

Mike ( Michael Simpson ) and King Gizmo ( John King ), famous for their sample-based music in the 1980s and 1990s, and specifically for their work on the albums Paul's Boutique by the Beastie Boys, Odelay by Beck, the soundtrack to the film Fight Club and the massive 1997 hit " MMMBop " by Hanson.

This reduces the polyphony again, as sample-based synthesizers rate their polyphony based on the number of multi-samples that can be played back simultaneously.

Stretched tuning is a detail of musical tuning, applied to wire-stringed musical instruments, older, non-digital electric pianos ( such as the Fender Rhodes piano and Wurlitzer electric piano ), and some sample-based synthesizers based on these instruments, to accommodate the natural inharmonicity of their vibrating elements.

It was also the first personal computer to come with a built-in " wavetable " sample-based synthesizer chip, utilizing technology from Ensoniq.

When sample-based synthesis was first developed, most affordable consumer synthesizers could not record arbitrary samples, but instead formed timbres by combining pre-recorded samples from ROM before routing the result through analog or digital filters.

* 1987 – Roland D-50: One of the popular digital synthesizers in late 1980s ; Roland's first all-digital synthesizer implementing its Linear Arithmetic synthesis ( a form of sample-based synthesis combined with subtractive synthesis ).

As time passed, some of these shortcomings were fixed, like the digital connectivity, and better piano samples were shipped with newer models ; however, the sample-based synthesis filter section was not improved.

Their 1993 album Blast Furnace ( We Bite Records ) was a move into sample-based industrial / metal / hardcore and only included one original member, Choke, along with a more metal-based backing band including Darryl Sheppard of Slaughter Shack, Barry Hite & Chris Lauria.

The principal difference with sample-based synthesis is that the seed waveforms are sampled sounds or instruments instead of fundamental waveforms such as the saw waves of subtractive synthesis or the sine waves of additive synthesis.

Therefore the polyphony of sample-based machines is generally a lot higher.

A sample-based synthesizer's ability to reproduce the nuances of natural instruments is determined primarily by its library of sampled sounds.

For sample-based models of instruments like the Rhodes piano, this multisampling is very important.

A more flexible sample-based synthesis design allowing the user to record arbitrary waveforms to form a sound's basic timbre is called a sampler.

The term is also used to refer to sample-based estimates of this ratio.

In statistics, an effect size is a measure of the strength of a phenomenon ( for example, the relationship between two variables in a statistical population ) or a sample-based estimate of that quantity.

: s is the sample standard deviation ( i. e., the sample-based estimate of the standard deviation of the population ), and

The Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer is a partially analog, partially sample-based, drum machine introduced by the Japanese Roland Corporation in 1983.

The hardware accelerated effects engine is an E-mu FX8010 DSP integrated into the Creative Technology's audio chip and was historically used to enhance MIDI output by adding effects ( such as reverb and chorus ) to the sampled instruments on sample-based synthesis cards ( also known as wavetable synthesis ).

The QY10's tone generator is a sample-based synthesizer utilising Yamaha's 12-bit Advanced Wave Memory synthesis technology.

More affordable sample-based synthesizers available for the masses with the introduction of the Roland D-50 and the Korg M1, which surfaced in the late eighties.

The Amen Break was used extensively in early hiphop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music —" a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures.

Although the D-50 was among the first non-sampling machines to be able to produce sounds with sample-based characteristics, it was not long before many synthesizers on the market began using similar methods to create sounds.

The UltraSound offered MIDI playback by loading instrument patches into adapter RAM located on the card, not unlike how instruments are stored in ROM on sample-based ' wavetable ' cards.

True Master briefly tried his hand at more compositional keyboard-based productions in lieu of his signature sample-based style on the Gravediggaz album Nightmare in A Minor.

* 1996 – Roland MC-303 Roland's first non-keyboard drum machine, sample-based synthesizer, and sequencer combination bearing the now-generic term Groovebox.

Waveform ROM in some digital sample-based music synthesizers made by Yamaha Corporation may be compressed using the LPC algorithm.

More recently, Apple has added sample-based voices.

The EMU10K1 provided high-quality 64-voice sample-based synthesizer ( a. k. a. wavetable ), with self-produced or third-party customized patches or " Soundfonts ", and the ability to resample the audio output as input and apply a range of real-time DSP effects to any set of audio subchannels present in the device.

The style complemented sample-based records of the period, produced by artists such as S-Express, Bomb the Bass, and M / A / R / R / S.

In the earlier days of sample-based synthesis, computer memory was expensive and samples had to be as short and as few as possible.

The vast storage capacity of modern computers was ideally suited to sample-based synthesis, and many samplers have thus migrated to software implementations or been superseded by new software samplers.
