Synthesizers, sample players, sequencers or loopers, and drum samplers are all ways of letting you create and work with the sounds of physical instruments you don't own or have access to. Depending on the quality of the source sounds (samples or synthesized tones) and your skill in using them, results can range from a 1980s Casio on autopilot to something stunningly close to the real thing.

Drum Samplers

These programs allow you to add sampled drum sounds to your recordings, using sets of drum samples ranging from a few hundred megabytes to 50GB-60GB. Typically, you use a MIDI track in your project to trigger the samples, though some of these programs also include built-in drum sequencers or groove libraries that let you compose directly in them and then transfer the results to SONAR.
