One more thing

Oh yeah... I posted a message already today and I just wanted to ask also abotu a sampler. Are they worth a shit or not?? Like if I record a piece of paper tearing real quickly with a sampler... can I program just with that one sound to rip in time with a drum machine. Like if the kick drum hits on 1 and 3 can I make the paper tear on 3 and 4? How do they do that kind of stuff? How do they flip a tape backwards so that it plays backwards like the beginning of "Quiet" by the Smashing Pumpkins on Siamese Dream??

First of all, having a useful subject will probably get more answers, because the people that actually know the answer to your question will see that they can answer, and do so.

Secondly, a sampler records, modifies and plays back sounds. You do not program the sampler to play anything in time with anything else. That you use a sequencer for.

Some samplers can flip sounds and play them backwards. Some can't.
