Aha!
Cheers.
That's cheaper than I expected (I think!)
Anyways,
hope that gives all these anti-digitalist grumblers a little perspective:
A real tron is about four times the price of the M4000D digital sampler machine. It has 24 sounds.
The digital pretender has 100 sounds (expandable to 200).
24 of those sounds don't sound quite as authentic as the tape on the real tron. The other 76 (or 176) don't sound as authentic as the sound of you changing a tape from between songs on stage)
(Although you could maybe make yourself a special backing tape of grunting, hernias, splintered wood and audience slow hand claps to get close :)
Right now I can't afford either! /shakes fist at sky/
