Default Samples, beats and things
I,m looking to buy a good sampler type machine that would be suitable for both recording and live work.

I want to be able to sample beats, grooves, tabla's etc from albums edit/create my own rhythms and sounds from them, then be able to store and use these loops and hits when I wish.

Any recommendations, nothing too exspensive though?

get a sample pad, like one of roland's spd-.... ranges

they are aimed at live use, but you can easily use them for recording too...

alternatively you could hook up a midi input device to a traditional sequencer.

there's loads of options, and loads of people exploring this technology locally, just ask around

Out of interest, what do you use for you're live set up?
