hello people, I have a question for anyone experienced with samplers.. particularily in live settings but it doesn't really matter
i have a microkorg synth which is amazing and im looking to buy a sampler rather than using my laptop live, im thinking the mpc 500 or 1000 or a korg electribe (don't know which one yet) but i don't really know anything about hardware samplers so I would really appreciate some help!
specifically i'm looking for something that can hold a lot of sounds (external flash cards preferably), with polyphony (at least 4 voices), audio in/out and would be nice to have midi in/out. a lot of pads/banks and some filters/effects would be cool. I'm thinking that during live shows I would be playing my korg keyboard seperately from the sampler (not interchanging midi with each other or anything) but i would be using them both fully so ofcourse a VERY QUICK and easily manipulable interface would be great. i'm not sure whether i prefer outlet or battery power so that doesn't really matter.... any thoughts?
*id be using the sampler mostly as a bank, probably not to actually sample much (live) but primarily almost as a synth i guess
also, i own a mac if that matters and using Logic Pro
