The RS7000's sampler really sucks. You're better off with a command station and a sampler. Cheaper too. Alternately, if you prefer the Yamaha's UI, get an RM1x and a sampler.

  If your asking what mixers and samplers do/are: 

  mixers mix sound.You can have a 4 piece band
  (guitar,bass,drummer,singer) and (by mic or directly pluging the 
  instruments into the mixer) mix all the different sound sources into 
  a stero source(left and right)for recording to tape,cd,etc.You could 
  get deeper but thats what the main purpose of a mixer is.

  A sampler is a digital sound recorder that can record and play back
  soundsin whatever way you choose (mostly some way musicaly). An 
  example: I have a sampler, I want real drum sounds but dont have a 
  real drum set.So recording from sample CDs, Your own music CDs, or a 
  friends drum set, you can "assign" thedrum sounds (kick drum to one 
  key/pad,snare to another key/pad ,hihat to another etc). Thus 
  creating your own drum machine tostart making beats.

  The emu XL7 is a Tone generator (has sounds built in it) and sequencer
  (you are able to record its sounds in patterns/songs) using just it.
  There is no sampler in it.

  Ive had mine for about two weeks. Its allright. I love the sounds but 
  disapointed about the glicths in it. Id recomend the yamaha RS7000 
  over it for starters.Or reason 2 for your computer.But thats my 
  thoughts.
