yes and no... i use all hardware. compared to any hardware sampler i can 
think of, i see a p2k module as a very viable and competitive alternative 
platform.

among other things, i can get to a gig, and "just turn it on" and all of 
my samples would be there. loading samples into yamaha AxK memory can take 
a long time.

it's also more roadworthy than the yamaha AxK samplers.
