Some people appreciate a sampler (those who want to > play existing sounds) To just be pedantic - but I don't get this at all, a sampler is far better for making unique sounds surely? You can do what you want with sounds from any source - ok, so you need a source to begin with, but a synth is actually more restrictive as you can only make the sounds it's capable of (even a modular), with a sampler you can make an entire track from the sound of someone sneezing - if you have enough creativity and time... :) dave
