computers have been sampling sound WAY before samplers came out. You can buy samplers for Amigas, and for PC's, well all sound cards have the ability to sample just as good quality as any sampler and for way less than the multi-thousands of dollars that samplers cost.. I don't reckon I'll ever buy a sampler (of the non-computer variety). __ __\ \ / /_\ \ \_____/ www.freq-div.home.ml.org
