==Audio==
==Audio samples==
Similar to graphics, creating game audio often involves the sampling of various sound libraries. The games within the ''Pikmin'' series are a good example, where a large amount of audio can be sourced back to a number of different commercially-released products. These products are used to create the individual instrument samples and sound effects in the games, as well as pieces of streamed music. All of the music in [[Music in Pikmin|''Pikmin'']], [[Music in Pikmin 2|''Pikmin 2'']], and [[Music in Pikmin 3|''Pikmin 3'']] use audio from digital instruments and synthesizers; instances of musicians performing live on real acoustic instruments are highly uncommon in the games. The [[Music in Pikmin 3#Side Stories|new music]] composed by Babi for {{p3d}} is one of the very few occasions where this was done.{{cite web|https://www.pikminwiki.com/File:Babi_email.png|Babi's response to an e-mail inquiry|Pikipedia}}

Since there is a history of many different composers and sound effect programmers contributing to the games, there is a large variety of synthesizers and sample libraries that have been used. Listed below are all of these currently known products.
===''Pikmin''{{'s}} music===
[[Music in Pikmin|''Pikmin'']]'s soundtrack was composed by Hajime Wakai. He uses the [[#Kurzweil K2500|Kurzweil K2500R]] and [[#Roland SC-88|Roland SC-88]] synthesizers, and the SampleCell II software. The two aforementioned synthesizers make up the vast majority of sounds heard in the soundtrack, though a few sample CD-ROMs are also seldom used; these CD-ROMs are formatted for SampleCell II, which serves the function of a sampler.

===''Pikmin 2''{{'s}} music===
[[Music in Pikmin 2|''Pikmin 2'']]'s soundtrack was composed by Hajime Wakai and Kazumi Totaka, and features a wider range of products used. The Kurzweil K2500R and Roland SC-88 are once again prominently used by Hajime Wakai. SampleCell II no longer sees any use by Hajime Wakai for this title; instead, sounds from InVision Lightware 1, East-West Drums + Percussion, and the AKAI CD3000 Sound Library can be heard, all of which came packaged with the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G52ErOIwXAY AKAI CD3000] sampler. Kazumi Totaka uses the [[#Yamaha S90|Yamaha S90]] and a slew of different sample libraries for his music.

===''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} music===
[[Music in Pikmin 3|''Pikmin 3'']]'s soundtrack was composed by Asuka Hayazaki, Atsuko Asahi, and Hajime Wakai. It was the first main title to have a soundtrack consisting wholly of streamed music; singular instrument samples do not exist individually within the game itself, although sampling can still occur within the music creation process. The Kurzweil K2500 is still prominent in this soundtrack, but it is being used by Asuka Hayazaki, alongside her {{w|Korg Triton|KORG Triton Studio}}.
