What about Ensonqi ASR-X or ASRX-PRO? It costs bit more but it sounds excellent. I know Veron Reid used it live with David Torn. It can be both a sampler and a synth. It has effect and all those real time tweaking knobs (not many, but fairly enough). I'm think to get it as a master MIDI clock to control my Echoplex and plays some D&B stuff on the background. You may check out how it sounds here: http://www.lanset.com/shansen/asrx.htm I've also tried Boss DR-202, I have to say that the preset (MIDI files) are all very good and to my taste. It covers hip-hop, trip-hop, funks, techno, ... every kind of trendy dance stuffs. However, it sounds bad (just the good midi preset files make you think it's good). Can't say much if you refer them as "lo-fi". Having said that, it's a fun toy with knobs and sounds bad. Agreed with the other gentlemen that it's just a toy but not a tool. I'm seriously thinking the ASR-X/PRO ... any other using it?
