A sample is a single, positive floating point number that represents the Amplitude of a sound wave at that point in time.

In Pure Data the line~ object is used to change the amplitude of a signal without introducing "pops" in the output. Pure sine waves are most sensitive to pops.

"Sampling" is recording a live signal into a Wavetable and playing it back out.
