Digital sampler modules serve a vital part in today's popular music. Virtually all songs contain sounds created by a sampler module. Sampler modules are also often used in film soundtracks and in computer games and television. In fact whenever sound is recorded it is most often replayed by a sampler module. Often if a sampler module is not used in a song one has most probably been used during the composing stage, otherwise a keyboard utilising sampling technology would haves been used. Virtually all composers nowadays use computers to record their music and the music software commonly incorporates a soft-sampler. To meet the wants of the many composers and songwriters there is an enormous variety of sample libraries giving an incredible selection of sounds for use in songs and you can also sample your own material but there are a number of points to keep in mind if you do sample yourself.
Primarily it is very important that you know the copyright laws and, that sampling part of a recording by somebody else (for using in a commercial recording) is only allowed if you apply for and get clearance(permission). Of course you may use such samples for personal use only but if you can't get clearance(permission) and you release a song which uses uncleared samples you could discover yourself in dangerous grounds. It is for this reason virtually all composer settle upon using sample DVDs which have cleared samples.
Today soft-samplers, such as Halion, EXS24, Structure, Kontakt and Gigasampler, are able to play immensely large samples RAM memory or the hard disk which allows for finely detailed sounds. You can find lots of businesses involved in the supply of sample libraries for using in software and hardware samplers which contain samples of nearly any musical instrument you can recall plus lots of timbres from other places . When samplers were first produced software and hardware were horrifically expensive to buy, but, nowadays you can easily discover sample CDs which vary in cost from the immensely highly priced down to the surprisingly cheap.
The first collections of samples featured only really short samples and only a small choice of timbres. To make things even worse the the sample libraries available were immensely expensive. Currently it's common to see cheap sample libraries containing more than 100 varying timbres ranging from driving basses to delicate pads and leads that cut through a mix and usually a selection of sound FX.
