Sound modules may use any number of technologies to produce their sounds. A sound module may be a Synthesizer , a Sampler , a Digital Piano , or a Rompler . Drum modules are sound modules which specialize in Percussion sounds. Drum modules may be triggered by external trigger pads or pickups as well as through MIDI. Drum modules are distinguished from Drum Machine s through their lack of dedicated on-board triggers and lack of an integrated sequencer. Sound modules are often Rack-mountable , but might also have a table-top Form Factor .

A sound module may have all the other features of the controller-equipped version, but it often has a smaller display or limited programming controls. In this case, sounds can be loaded through MIDI or external media. In some cases, sound modules have expanded capacity for sounds in comparison to the controller-equipped version. Hardware sound modules have in recent years been replaced to a large extent with Software Equivalents . NOTABLE SOUND MODULES
