yeah but most people are going to take a computer anyway, to run their
sequencer!

but 486 machines haven't been on sale now for at least a year, so that is
pretty old technology now

i mean, when you consider the prices of the two kinds of sampler, they
shouldn't really compare to each other! thing is, they do, on plenty of
points. if you want to spend 8 times as much money just to get individual
outs, and maybe slightly better sampling quality, that's ok, but don't be
surprised to find so called 'amateur' pc users blowing your tracks away.
my little prediction - akai will bring out their top flight s-series
sampler on a 300 pound pci card within 2 years, with individual outs and
everything... maybe even a drive-bay control panel!
cheerio!
