| | ===== Samplers/synths (standalone) ===== |
| | If described as a "sampler", this means the app loads/plays sampled waveforms. If described as a "synth", this means the app's sounds are synthesized via oscillators, or physical modeling. \\ |

| | ===== Drum samplers/synths (standalone) ===== |
| | These apps mimic "drum machines". If described as a "sampler", this means the sounds are sampled waveforms of real drums. If described as a "synth", this means the sounds are synthesized via oscillators (like the analog Roland TR-808), or physical modeling. |

| | \\ |
| | If described as "MIDI-controlled", this means the sounds are playable in real-time via a MIDI controller such as drum pads or a keyboard (or another MIDI app if the ALSA Sequencer interface is supported). If "Pattern-controlled", then the app requires you to program "beat patterns", and the app plays these patterns at whatever tempo you set. |
