looking for a sampler...

[mshort]

i have the apc40 right now which is awesome i use that with traktor pro. the only limitation i run into is not having enough samples at my finger tips (ie vocal one shots, phrases, drum hits, other stuff i dont wanna have to find and load into a deck in traktor).

im looking for a simple midi sampler with a drum pad that can trigger samples. basically im just asking for a midi drum machine. looking to stay like in the $200 area. got any recommendations for good'uns? durability / reliability are my two biggest concerns.



also...do you use something similar to accomplish what i'm talking about here? what's your setup like regarding this?

Ableton lite Will do the trick... and it comes free with the APC.

Ok so you have Ableton Lite? APC20? LPD8, MPK mini, Some newest MPD, Launchpad, Midi fighter.

yeah i have ableton something like the LPD8 is what im looking for. good price too.

what does anyone else use to throw in samples in their dj sets? basically im just looking for a midi drum machine that i can use to trigger samples in the drum rack in ableton.

I like the nanokorg for firing my samples.

used MPC500. wont drain resources from your computer, small, runs on batteries, easy to build libraries of samples, and integrates great with abletons drum rack
