I'm looking for a new keyboard that samples that isn't a Triton(everybody has either this or the trinity in hip hop). I've been doing research and the Yamaha keeps popping up. I've heard some good(the sounds) and bad(about almost everything else), but these reviews came mostly from live musicians. What other options do I have for a sampling keyboard that has good sounds. What about the Alesis ASR-10? Any other options? Thanx for any input.

YAMAHA EX5

I use the Yamaha EX5R (rack mount version of EX5). What can I say, it sounds great, does everything I want it to do, no complaints. What do you want to know about it?.
BTW,
Ensoniq (now owned by E-mu, which is now owned by Creative Labs) makes the ASR-10, not Alesis. It's a great box. I don't own one, but have played with one a while ago. The sounds are very raw, great for hip-hop and other groove oriented music. It can also sample and play samples. It's not really a keyboard sampler. It has a set of drum pads and would probably only be appropriate for playing drum samples and the occasional bassline. Not really all that comparable to the EX5.
