An explanation and demonstrations of sample-based synthesis and wavetable synthesis.

While the categories are often imperfect, it is useful to categorize different techniques and approaches to sound synthesis.

Sample-based synthesis can be a good place to start the study of synthesis, because it's a rather straightforward idea to us in the 21st-century that we can trigger sounds to play back when we want them to. From there, we can stretch that idea of playing back samples to playing back "microsound"--not even a whole note, but a part of a note. We can even take just one cycle of a sound, and play that back on a loop with an oscillator as in wavetable synthesis.
