Hi Bruce,
The source of the sample would determine whether the sound being used is
synthesized or not, I'd guess. I never found a way to satisfactorily
replicate Tablas, for instance. When I got Fruity Loops (now FLStudio)
and
a sample-set of Tabla sounds I could 'do' as such without having to resort
to synth programming-fiddling. Moreover if one uses FLStudio one is using
non-synthesized samples in many cases. I lean towards the use of 'real'
but
then I'm a grumpy old fart to some.
