How many samplers do you own?

Just the Digitakt, which is currently on the shelf because I love the Syntakt workflow. Not selling though because it will go nicely into the dawless setup I’ve got cooking.

DT was my first box and I found out the hard way I’m not built for sample management and prefer synthesis.

You don’t have a sampler problem, you have a money problem :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Paging @AdamJay ….

Digitakt and MC-707. They’re my first and so far only hardware samplers.

My first sampler was Amiga 1200 with Technosound Turbo II “sampling cartidge” and Protracker :slight_smile:

I currently have 6 samplers. But I am thinking of selling them all and just writing down the descriptions of the sounds that I hear. Could make for some good reading.

The “not Ableton” ones:
Circuit Rhythm
Koala

Both pretty different in regards to features and hands on feeling. I actually set up the Rhythm to control Koala now, so with the difference in features, I feel like they really cover an awful lot of bases.

currently…

akai mpc2000xl
akai s3000xl
emu esi4000
KOii
amiga a500 w/ audiomaster IV
tx16w w/ typhoon
ensoniq eps
edit - how can i forget my mighty sk1?

mostly relics

i use reaper as a glorified sampler in the software realm. and Birds rolling sampler.

Squid Salmple
Digitakt
Bitbox Micro
Push 3 (bricked while I wait patiently for a response from Ableton support)

I like to sample with my standard issue mk1 ear, although it’s due for a recalibration because I’m losing some high end.
