Always learning something from David. I never heard of concatenative synthesis so I looked it up on the internet. Wikipedia described it +++ HERE +++.. You can look at the first reference footnoted in the Wikipedia article to find a really detailed explanation by the researcher that coined the phrase.

Concatenative synthesis is a technique for synthesizing sounds by concatenating short samples of recorded sound (called units). The duration of the units is not strictly defined and may vary according to the implementation, roughly in the range of 10 milliseconds up to 1 second. It is used in speech synthesis and music sound synthesis to generate user-specified sequences of sound from a database (often called a corpus) built from recordings of other sequences.

In contrast to granular synthesis, concatenative synthesis is driven by an analysis of the source sound, in order to identify the units that best match the specified criterion.
