It's a phrase sampler, not a regular sampler, just FYI.  You can't play 
samples chromatically, just loops and one off events.  But it does so 
straight from a Zip disk, so you can get up to 250MB worth of samples at 
your disposal.  It also acts as a hard disk recorder, and that was what I 
used mine for originally.  The effects are way cool too, and are very 
flexible.  The downside is that it can only handle 4 stereo audio files at 
once, and it only has 4 tracks for recording.   So you could be playing 
back 3 track and record one at the same time.  If you're serious about 
getting one, get a regular sp808 as they're much cheaper right now.  The 
OS from a newer EX can be copied to ZIP, and loaded into the regular 808 
in about 30 seconds flat.  Also, the regular 808's come with a 100MB zip 
drive, but it's easy to swap it with a larger 250MB internal zip, all for 
much cheaper than the EX version.  I may get another one myself someday, 
once you get the feel for all that the sp808 can do, it's extremely 
flexible.  I did not want to sell mine....
