- Yes, sure, I call this "synthesized" in contrast to some "sample" coming
- from some real-world sound. Funny how definitions differ. Where does
- this funny definition for "sample" come from? From the MOD scene?
- Because before, with programs like SONIX, it was always a very positive
- feature of a software to be able to use *real* samples, and not only such
- sythesized waveforms that were considered not so elegant and good sounding
- (in general, there are of course exceptions). So it did matter much whether
- you had *only* "synthesized" or also "sampled" (better) waveforms, and you
- now put these much differing things into one, suddenly!

- That's sythesized for me, not sampled. There's a BIG difference.
