Seriously now.  Suggesting that digital samplers are not musical 
instruments is just nonsense.  Samplers have been inspiring 
musicians and composers to create some great stuff over many years.  
(one example: Hans Zimmer's soundtracks).  

Wasn't the Fairlight a digital sampler?  Did anyone do anything 
creative with that?
