Hi Bruce,

The source of the sample would determine whether the sound being used is 
synthesized or not, I'd guess.  I never found a way to satisfactorily 
replicate Tablas, for instance.  When I got Fruity Loops (now FLStudio) 
and 
a sample-set of Tabla sounds I could 'do' as such without having to resort 
to synth programming-fiddling.  Moreover if one uses FLStudio one is using 
non-synthesized samples in many cases.  I lean towards the use of 'real' 
but 
then I'm a grumpy old fart to some.
