音色同樣會俾呢幾個參數影響：Attack（由冇聲上到去最大聲）、Inter-onset Interval、Decay（由最大聲落到去平穩狀態）、Sustain（維持喺平穩狀態）、Release（由平穩狀態變翻乜聲都冇），仲有 暫態。所以呢幾個都會係取樣器控制到嘅參數。例如，鋼琴或者小號嘅音頻訊號入邊拎走 Attack 部分，就會令到樂器變成好難先認得出，咁係因為鋼琴個音鎚揼落條弦或者嘴脣貼住小號個吹嘴噴氣出聲，都係啲決定樂器音色嘅重要特徵。
Timbre is also affected by these parameters: Attack, Inter-onset Interval, Decay, Sustain, Release, and Transient. So these will be the parameters that the sampler controls. For example, if the attack part of the piano or trumpet is removed from the audio signal, it will make the instrument difficult to recognize, so because the piano hammer knocks off the strings or the mouth is close to the trumpet mouthpiece to make a sound, which is also an important feature that determines the timbre of the instrument.
