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.
