Line 10: LA synthesis combines traditional [[subtractive synthesis]] with [[Pulse-code modulation\|PCM]]-based samples. The term "''linear arithmetic"'' refers to synthesis that puts sounds together in a timeline. Typically a PCM transient begins a note, which is then continued with a subtractive synthesis prolongation. Roland did not use the term ''additive'', as [[additive synthesis]] already refers to a different synthesis method. This technology first appeared in 1987, in the [[Roland D-50]] synthesizer. At the time, re-synthesizing samplers were very expensive, so Roland set out to produce a machine that would be easy to program, sound realistic, and still sound like a synthesizer. Also, Yamaha had previously gained world market lead with their [[Yamaha DX7\|DX7]] [[frequency modulation synthesis\|FM synth]], which excelled at metallic, percussive sounds—something that Roland's synths using subtractive synthesis were less good at.
