If what you want to play is "organ" tones the SP303 is NOT for you. I own
one and love it (mostly). But it isn't that sort of sampler. It's more "groove"
oriented. Think of a drum machine that you can load your own sounds in
(and canned loops too, mind you) and you've got the pictuure. There is 
none of the usual Attack/Sustain/Decay control for samples on this unit at all.
