If really sampled sounds is important then waldorf blofeld or clavia nordwave (+expensive) are solutions too. At least you still have some synthesis power when needed which might not be the case whith a sp555 for instance. The blofeld seems a bargain but I haven't tried it yet.

Let's face it: the high-quality hardware sampler has (almost) vanished from the market. People who had been using something like an Akai S series, E-Mu Emulator or similar in a studio setting in the past use a computer today. Example: NI Kontakt 4. People who used one onstage use a synth workstation where you can load samples (those devices don't have a sampling option, because - yes, you guessed right - people use a computer for this). Example: Roland Fantom XR. The only hardware samplers (being things that not only can playback but also record samples) seem to be aimed at the more beat-oriented/DJ crowd - apart frm things like a Roland SP-555, there' still the Akai MPC series. > the irony is, i think i know the answer and its.....yup.on a laptop!!!! Here, you said it yourself... Ah, and if that weren't enough, storing and transferring data with those older devices is often a hassle. The standard for this used to be SCSI (which means SCSI harddisk and SCSI interface for your computer). Perhaps the simple solution really IS to use a sound module with sounds you like, and go with that...;)
