-**Sampling** is the use of samples to produce audio. **Samples** are soundfiles of individual notes and articulations an acoustic instrument can produce. They serve as sources for **sampled instruments** (also: **soundfonts**), files a **sampler** can use as virtual instruments for sound production. Formats for sampled instruments include GIG, SF2, and SFZ. Sampling is currently the only way to produce acceptable renditions of orchestral music.+**Sampling** is the use of samples to produce audio. **Samples** are soundfiles of individual notes and articulations an acoustic instrument can produce.
