sampler vs. sound module

[rockem]

would a sampler be a better option then a sound module ?
I mean, i have the JV1010, and if i go on the
AKAI Z4, can i get rid of the JV ?

can the Z4 give me all he goods of the JV + more ?

I know the Z4 comes with all the sounds of the S5000 and the S6000 ( and another 4.5Gb of sounds)

would that be enough for starters ?

thanx

If you get a sampler you could hypothetically sample all the sounds from your Roland...I don't know if that's illegal or not though...so you'd better not

That depends on what you are going to use it for.

well .. now i got another option

I can buy a used Roland S750 sampler for 300$
and still keep the JV1010

so, would that be the best option ??

thanx

A Yamaha A3000.

No, honestly, I don't know which one of the two is better, but the Roland specs aint that impressive...

Make sure you get one with a HD, though (goes for both) and if you get an A3000, make sure it has v2.0 of the software.

Samplers can be a great tool, but to compile a good sample library can get very expensive (useing third party software). There are many good samples out there - but there are also some dogs (I've got a few sample disks I bought that are completely useless).

Trying to compile your own library can be very time consuming and more than a little difficult (getting good samples with seamless loops ain't all that easy.)

Like regebro said - sampler vs. module depends on what you want to do. When I do post production and I need sound effects in precise spots I plug in the samplers. If i need a synth pad or a piano bed track, etc. - I find it much easier to dial up a sound on a module.
