So basically you want a budget sampler that supports .WAV files, sample dump via MIDI or disk, and is controllable via MIDI. Based on your budget, you have a bunch of machines to check out (ordered in increasing price) ... Akai S20 Yamaha SU-10 Boss SP-303 Zoom SampleTrak ST224 Yamaha SU-200 Korg Electribe ES-1 Yamaha SU700 I was looking for the same thing about a year ago and got a Yamaha SU700, then found out it only support .AIFF file formats and it doesn't have the ability to store samples on-board. Although, the effects are really good and the MIDI implementation is pretty good, you have to pay extra for a SCSI adapter and ZIP drive if you want convenient sample storage. They've come down in price $300-400 since I bought it last year. If I was buying today, I would probably look at getting the Korg Electribe ES-1, next to the Yamaha SU-200. One of the weird issues with this Korg unit is that the .WAV files need specific names to load correctly, but it supports onboard static RAM storage and SmartMedia storage, which is very handy. Check it out: http://www.korg.com/gear/info.asp?A_PROD_NO=ES1 Each of these units have their own idiosyncrasies, so I would read reviews on every one of them.
