	Velocity sensing trigger interface for musical instrument - Patent 5824938
		The present invention relates to a velocity sensing trigger interface for musical instruments, and more particularly, to a velocity sensitive drum or key pad interface with a cantilever beam mechanism which permits the switch actuators of the trigger interface to be separated by a distance which increases the velocity sensitivity.
		Conventionally, the musical instrument includes a drum pad or keypad which is used to actuate a switch which, in turn, triggers the generation of a sound corresponding to that drum pad or keypad.
		More sophisticated musical instruments also sense the velocity of the depression of the drum pad or keypad by the musician and this velocity data is used to appropriately modify the timbre, amplitude, and other characteristics of the generated sound.

	Sampler (musical instrument) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		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.

		Instead of generating sounds from scratch, however, a sampler starts with multiple recordings (or “samples”) of different sounds, and then plays each back based on how the instrument is configured.
		Usually a sampler is controlled from an attached music keyboard, or from an external MIDI source.
		In general, samplers can play back any kind of recorded audio, and most samplers offer editing facilities which allow the user to modify and process the audio, and to apply a wide range of effects, making the sampler a powerful and versatile musical tool.

		The difference between a sampler and a tape machine, is that a sampler is a musical instrument, usually with a musical keyboard attached, that can play sounds at different pitches, just like a piano or an organ.
		Samplers are a great way to add natural instrument sounds to your music, like orchestral strings, acoustic guitars, even drum kits and vocals.

	Musical Instruments FAQs
		MIDI (an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a specification first defined in the early '80s to enable keyboards and computer equipment to "talk" to one another.
		The 16-note polyphonic keyboard referred to in the previous example might also (but need not) be "6-voice multitimbral," meaning that it is capable of reproducing the sounds of a piano, a flute, a bass guitar, a trumpet, a violin and a kazoo at the same time, either at the same pitch or different pitches.
		In a literal sense, a synthesizer is an instrument that generates all of its sonic raw material electronically, by means of a series of oscillators, amplifiers and filters, whereas the term sampler refers to a device that digitally records real sounds (e.g., piano, violin, bass guitar, snare drum) and plays them back at different pitches.

	Sound Module & Sampler: Buying Guide
		Composers of electronica will find samplers useful, especially if they have created a big, lush layered sound with a number of synths, and would like to be able to free up some sound processing by sampling the entire combination and save it as a patch.
		An instrument such as the clarinet naturally creates something very close to a square wave, and in synthesizers square waves are used to emulate clarinets.
		In synthesizers or samplers it may be used to control amplitude, filter cut-off, or tuning (to name a few likely parameters).

	Software Sampler
		A software sampler is a type of software that will route musical wav files, called instrument patches or a sound library, through a virtual midi port created by the software sampler and used by a sequencer, such as Sibelius or Finale.
		This is essential to a composer because he can then burn his music on a CD and distribute it.
		Also a good soundcard may be necessary in order for a software sampler to operate to its full potential.

		Samplers are a mainstay in just about every type of music production, from hip-hop to film soundtracks.
		However, the software sampler has to store the first part of each sample in RAM in order to be able to respond instantly when you play the keyboard, so you'll still need plenty of memory.
		Now that samplers have enough memory to play long samples without looping, the technique of sample looping is more often used for playing phrase loops, such as drum beats and bass riffs.

	Synths, Samplers and Drums
		The most important characteristics of a sampler are the sampling rate and the resolution.
		No one synthesizer is going to be able to get all the variety of sound you can get from different makes, and by layering the sound of different machines you can come up with sounds that are greater than the sum of their parts.
		You can play different instruments at the same time on a single multi-timbral synth, and that may be exactly what you need in a live performance (though it may be less important for multitracking in a studio).
