Sampling Synthesis Technique Applied For The Digital Generation Of Musical Tones Of Malay Folk Instruments

A random survey of commercial synthesisers available shows that sampled sounds of Malay folk instruments such as the rebab, seruling and others are lacking in both fonns of software or hardware, in sharp contrast to Western classical instrument sounds where similar materials are in abundance.
