[sdiy] Drum sample playback

[cheater00 cheater00]

A fairly interesting thread about a sampler board has devolved into
the 1000th re-run of "old world vs new world". Can y'all make the pain
stop please. Please guys no more posts about books vs tutorials etc,
it's been beaten to death so many times on every technical list ever
conceived.

To get back on topic. I think $70 for a board like this is too much -
I think it should be cheaper - I wonder if there are alternatives that
do the same thing, but less expensively? I appreciate that they had to
write the verilog, lay the board out, etc, but I think that this
should be much more economical. It's a simple module.

We should get the chinese hooked on analog synths. I bet a lot of fun
stuff would come out of that.
