A software sampler is a piece of software which allows a computer to emulate the functionality of a sampler.In the same way that a sampler has much in common with a synthesizer software samplers are in many ways similar to software synthesizers and there is great deal of overlap between the two but whereas a software synthesizer generates sounds algorithmically from mathematically-described tones or short-term waveforms (i.e. less than 100 ms in length) a software sampler always reproduces samples often much longer than a second as the first step of its algorithm.
