Samplers?
Kevin,
If you think that you might be getting into MIDI too, then check out A.M.A.S.,
which is a small unit that has both a MIDI interface that plugs into the serial
port, and a sampler that plugs into the parallel port. (Unfortunately, there is
no pass through, so you need to get both serial and parallel port switches, or
switch cables a lot.)
I don't believe that Perfect Sound has a microphone input, so if that's
important to you, then Future Sound might be the better choice of the two.
I don't have any personal experience with samplers, though, just what I've seen
come across the message base and what I've read elsewhere. I'm certain that
others with specific experience will also post messages.
