probably also has a lot to do with sampling cd's and libraries. if you have
the thing as a blank sheet, you've got to find your own interesting sounds.
once you get the sampler with 20 cd's, you're never likely to use that
'sample' button ever again..;-) personally, i miss the bits of sampled movie
dialogue bands like cabaret voltaire, front 242, etc used to use..

but it's funny jhow quick the sampler as a hardware box hasd become
obsolete. are they even still being made, apart from things like the MPC's?
