Sampler - Sampler
Definition
Acoustic electro apparatus which restores and possibly modifies beforehand existing samples of sound.
Description
The sampler is the rival and often the complement of the Synthetizer It allows a reproduction often more faithful than this last of the acoustic sounds of instruments, for example the piano. But sampling is a heavy technique: to make way convincing the sound of a piano, it will be necessary to sample of them (to record) practically all the notes, played each one with different forces. Many samplers further go than the simple reproduction from sounds and make it possible to modify those which bring them closer the synthetizers. The first relatively democratic sampler was the Mirage of the Ensonic firm, sold 2.500 dollars in 1986, and whose performances seem extremely poor today. At the time, a high level sampler as Fairlight CMI cost 70.000 dollars.
