Subject: How can I play samples?

From: "Charterhouse CDs" <frank@...>

Okay, so this isn't really an AN1x question, but maybe there is someone on
the list who can answer the question...

I am in a Wurzels tribute band (for non-Brits or those too cool to remember
the Wurzels - an 'agricultural band'). I want to add animal noises to our
music - a moo-moo here and a woof-woof there... And perhaps tractor noise,
etc, etc.
The ability to, say, play 'Old MacDonald Had A Farm' in dog barks would
(sadly) really add to our live set!

And I want it on stage, so computers are not really an option!

I can find the samples (a great site http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/ probably
has everything I want, and more) - but I have no idea how I can 'play' the
sounds. How to asign those sounds to the keys on my synth?

I play a Roland XP30, a Korg N264 and an X3 and my AN1x (which stays at
home). I doubt if any of these would suffice, but without suggesting
anything too expensive, what should I be looking at?

regards,
