==Audio==
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}}
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 {{P1}}, {{P2}}, 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.grandfunk.net/works/2228/|Production credits|GRANDFUNK's website}}


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.
===Samples used in music===
====''Pikmin'' audio samples====
[[Music in Pikmin|''Pikmin'']]'s soundtrack was composed by Hajime Wakai. He uses the Kurzweil K2500R and Roland SC-88 synthesizers, and utilizes the SampleCell II software as his sampler of choice. The two mentioned synthesizers make up the vast majority of sounds heard in Pikmin's soundtrack, though a few sample CD-ROMs are also seldom used.

====''Pikmin 2'' audio samples====
[[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 sounds are totally absent in his music however; 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 AKAI CD3000 sampler. Kazumi Totaka uses the Yamaha S90 and a slew of different sample libraries for his music.
