Elektron Musical Instruments

You could also look into the mpc range of akai samplers.  They are
quite good.  You may be interested in an mpc1000 or a used 2000xl. 
The MPC1000 has a usb storage device.  I'm also interested in the korg
sx sampler.  Lots of controls on that one.  On the software side the
Kontakt or Ableton's Live is nice too.  These have built in lofi
effects.  Very versitile samplers with the storage of a hard drive.  I
just might buy Live.

I thought Elektron was comming out with a sampler when they teased
about the monomachine.
