==History==
Before digital recording became practical, instruments such as Pierre Schaeffer and Jacques Poullin'sthe [[Chromatic_phonogene|phonogene]] (1950s) and the [[Mellotron]] (1960s) used analog tape decks to play back sampled sounds.
 
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 [[Read-only memory|ROM]] before routing the result through [[analog (signal)|analog]] or [[digital]] [[electronic filter|filters]]. These synthesizers and their more complex descendants are often referred to as ROMplers.
