I got my first sampler many years ago and in fact I still have it. Ensoniq EPS 16 Plus Turbo with a hard drive.
I near drove my dog Rocky to leave home when I first got it. He hates it.
Rocky dog stays in the studio with me all the time I am on this computer but the minute he sees the recording rack and effects rack light up he is gone and hid in a far corner of the house.
Poor dog hates music
