Well yea but the v-synth is a beast that does a lot more that just sample,
and the Vari OS is too I think in a separate category. The Boss looks like
it's interesting. And software is well software, I like using software
samplers as regular samplers for multi samples etc.., but for me software
can never replace the feel of a pretty box with lots of knobs and its own
internal sequencer that u can just jam on.

I'm talking MPC1000, Korg ESX like, a desktop hardware box that is only a
sampler, no internal synths, but with nice sample warping features, efx,
pads/xoxoxo interface, sequencer, etc.. For around the MD price or a little
less. To me honestly I don't see a lot of stuff in this market.

I think if electron did something like the machinedrum that was only a
sampler, had the features I mentioned above, had a little bigger screen with
usb connectivity to a computer, it would seriously rock. Oh and also throw
an interesting playable interface feature on it, example the mono joystick,
and the slider and finger pad on the ESX.
