I have to agree here.  I have an ms2000 and a Virus along with my 
coveted MD.  What I need now is a decent sampler.  As people have 
pointed out before there needs to be a sampler with some good sound 
modulation and the only way to do this now is through software.  
That's good enough for me.  If Elektron came out with a sampler that 
could compete with the soft samplers they'd truly have something 
special, not to say from what I hear about the MnM isn't.  I already 
have the synths I need.  I regret selling my mpc a couple years ago.  
There is alot you can do with current samplers that I've yet to 
explore.  It takes alot of time.
