Samples may comprise elements such as rhythm, melody, speech, sounds or entire bars of music, and may be layered, equalized, sped up or slowed down, repitched, looped, or otherwise manipulated. They are usually integrated using hardware ( samplers) or software such as digital audio workstations.

The mid-20th century saw the introduction of keyboard instruments that played sounds recorded on tape, such as the Mellotron.
