A (needlework) sampler is a piece of embroidery produced as a demonstration or test of skill in needlework.

The word sampler is derived from the Latin ‘exemplum’ - an example.
A sampler is an electronic musical instrument similar in some respects to a synthesizer, but instead of generating sounds, it uses recordings (or " samples") of sounds that are loaded or recorded into it by the user. These sounds are then played back by means of the sampler program itself, a keyboard, sequencer or another triggering device to perform or compose music. Because these samples are now usually stored in digital memory, the information can be quickly accessed. A single sample may often be pitch-shifted to produce musical scales and chords.
Often samplers offer filters, modulation via low frequency oscillation and other synthesizer-like processes that allow the original sound to be modified in many different ways. Most samplers have polyphonic capabilities – they are able to play more than one note at the same time. Many are also multitimbral – they can play back different sounds simultaneously.
