Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi everybody!
I'm new here, my name is Stefano and I'm a musician from Venice ITALY

I'm gonna purchase an akai s1000 sampler for a live project; I'd like 
to assign different zones of my keyboard to various sounds and simply 
reproduce them. For this purpose I thought to go for the PB version 
(only playback). In this way I could create my samples on pc and then 
transfer them to to the s1000 via floppy. Actually I'm doing the same 
thing using soft sampler KONTAKT on pC but I'm looking for a more 
faithful solution. So, I'd like to know: does
the 
PB have some basic editing features just like looping samples? I
think 
it would be necessary in my case.
Hope to hear from you.
Thank you very much 

Stefano

Bye ;)
