Elektron Musical Instruments

Hello,
 I have had my Machinedrum now for about a month, I love it. I am 
fairly new to music production, I only own a machuindrum and a nord 
micro modular. But with these 2 pieces I have been very happily 
making beats, but I think its time to add to my setup, so I wanted to 
ask people with experience what would be your next piece of gear to 
add to my simple setup if you had $1200.00 to spend. I have been 
leaning towards a sampler but know nothing about them. I am looking 
for a fairly easy and live gig friendly sampler. I would love to hear 
some comments on this subject. Oh and sorry for the off subject post.
       
     Thanks in advance for any info..

You also might need a live-sequencer besides a sampler...get a 
Yamaha RS7000. It's a great hardware sequencer with a 
sampling-section and tone generator for additional bread and 
butter sounds. Great all in one production tool with 
live-abitlities. And you should find it in the US for about $1200.
