all what i say is: don't buy a hardware sampler! software does it all, and much much easier and better. with a hardware sampler you will have a physical and virtual space problem, you need an external sequencer, you'll need a midi knowledge in a wide range, i had the akai s2000 and i can tell you, you're fucked without the 8 analog output extension board, akai doesn't support those old crap anymore.
about drummachines: i have the dr770, it's an allround machine with a crappy non-graphic internal sequencer, i use it just for live gigs, but better you make your own experience, and you'll see that hardware is more difficult than software.

....you could also build your own drummachine using modular analogue gear(Doepfer etc...) that would be very flexible and high quality.... but expensive...

S2000 is old and crap. you need about 3 of them to do anything decent. get the S5000 or S6000.
S5000 has 8 outs, S6000 has 16. plus ide of scsi internal hard disk. and a nice big screen and lots of features....basically what im saying is buy a hardware sampler :P it never crashes. you can press buttons and twiddle knobs touch it etc. no crap mouse interface. lots of cables can be plugged into it you can warm your hands over the air vents on cold winter days. what more can i say?

the roland r8 is a good drum machine, in fact, i have one i'm looking to sell!
it's in perfect condition, and it includes the "jazz" card. i need to sell it though because i'm moving to thailand for a year and i can't bring it with me. i'll be going the software route for a while.
i'm also looking to sell a yamaha rm1x and a nord 2 rack synth. if anyone's interested, mail me at thekarmabums@hotmail.com

I know, but a lot of acts still prefer performance synths for the keyboard parts. Also, I meant for all music with electronic elements, not just IDM. Eg will keyboard players in rock bands be using midi keyboards and powerbooks? Will you see them playing backing on top of the pops?
