[edit] Disputed History
The HISTORY section is factually inaccurate and misleading. No citations are included and several statements are totally incorrect. For example "Sound Modules" are not based on sample playback. Some are but this has nothing to do with the definition of "S.Module." The term (more often used as slang for rack mounted synthesizer or the synthesis component of any keyboard) is rooted in the origin of analog synthesizers like the Moog Modular and Don Buchla's creations. --Joenovice (talk) 18:48, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

- Perhaps the history section could be improved by subdividing into three categories: module, sequencers, and controllers. This would at least provide a factual lineage to this section.

Citation footnote - Dispite now having a citation (to a restricted access resource), the central problem is the factual basis of the paragraph's topic. Sound Modules are not distinctly "sample playback." In fact most aren't but are instead sample synthesis[1] whereby small attach transients are stored as, in the specific case of the Roland D50, 8bit PCM audio and then augmented with digital synthesis types like additive, wavetable, or subtractive processes.[2]
Here is another reference which refer to sound modules as "a synthesizer, a sampler, a digital piano, or a rompler."[3]
