 Sampler (musical instrument) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A sampler is an electronic musical instrument that can record and store audio signal samples, generally recordings of existing sounds, and play them back at a range of pitches.
An early form of sampler was an instrument called the 'Mellotron' (later Novatron due to licensing issues) which used individual pre-recorded tape loops, one under each key on the keyboard.
The emergence of the digital sampler made sampling far more practical, and as samplers added progressively more digital processing to their recorded sounds, they began to merge into the mainstream of modern digital synthesizers.

This is one of a group of at least fifteen examples known as Philadelphia presentation samplers, made at an unidentified school in the city between 1816 and 1839, whose designs usually include a basket of strawberries and grapes and a respectful dedication.

A tranquil garden scene with a fountain and a peacock is framed by rose-covered marble pillars.

The overall composition is appropriately formal - very "balanced", and, as is the case with most of my sampler designs, I added "tension" or "visual interest" to the design by overlapping: the topiary trees' foliage, the peacocks' tails, the greenery in the urns, etc...
