Elektron Musical Instruments

Can anybody recommend a good (cheap sampler) that will be able to send 
the samples to the UW over midi. My UW will be arriving tomorrow so i'd 
like to get some software today. I don't want anything to fancy. I 
don't use much software, just Ableton and sometimes Cubase.

In fact will Elektron be offering any kind of sampling software with 
the UW.

Cheers,
Tommy.
