Talk:Rompler

I edited this article to try to clarify the multiple uses of the term Rompler. Doing online research only, I found no conensus of opinion, so I wanted to diversify the definition of the term.

I just looked through the older versions and some are far superior to your re-write. Your re-write suggets that samplers are romplers ("The most general usage is a device whose waveforms are based only on samples, be they presets or user created."), but a rompler by its very definition contains its samples in ROM. How can a user 'create' a waveform in a rompler? It can't be done. A rompler waveform can only be manipulated by the user. Why the hell would anyone rewrite an article to make it worse? Get a life, and quit trashing other people's superior writing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.180.67.209 (talk) 08:09, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

The last paragraph about marketing is untrue - dozens of romplers are called romplers by their creators on KVR and Gersic. I may just delete it in a little while if nobody objects and I actually give a —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.112.17.99 (talk) 16:25, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

-- There are contradictions in this article. A rompler is a kind of sample based synt. Just as a sampler it can have any amount of synthesis features. (As the example of the proteus indeed does.) --fixed it.

when is a rompler not a rompler?
The last paragraph is confusing to me, and I've been working with synths half my life. I will eventually circle back to try pushing it into shape, though anyone's free to show up first. Weeb Dingle (talk) 21:12, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

What is a synthesizer?
A synthesizer is, by the very definition found in wikipedia, " an electronic musical instrument that generates audio signals."

A ROMpler IS stricly considered a subcategory of synthesizer, period. Whether a synthesizer uses FM or Samples as oscillators for sound generation is completely irrelevant to the definition of the word synthesizer.

Calling something a ROMpler is more or less a marketing concern for media or retailers. Early 90's emu racks were considered ROMplers as well, yet provide a wealth of different kind of filters, called Z-plane filters, and allowed complex and deep editing of sounds, which completely contradicts what that wikipedia page claims.

There are so many problems with that articles.

Some ROMplers DO use single cycle waveforms for some of their patches, along with longer samples. So the dichotomy found in the current wikipedia article is simply absurd. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB08:B59:7C00:94AB:B770:5A98:A410 (talk) 13:35, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
