'''Sample-based synthesis''' is a form of audio synthesis that can be contrasted to either [[subtractive synthesis]] or [[additive synthesis]]. The principal difference with sample-based synthesis is that the seed waveforms are [[sample (signal)|sample]]d sounds or instruments instead of fundamental waveforms such as [[sine]] and [[saw wave]]s used in other types of synthesis.
==Advantages of sample-based synthesis==
Sample-based synthesis' principal advantage over other methods of digital synthesis such as [[physical modelling synthesis]] or additive synthesis is that processing power requirements are much lower. This is because most of the nuances of the sound models are contained in the pre-recorded samples rather than calculated in real-time.
