Southern Comfort - isn't it possible that Arvon45 could have sampled only a few sounds from an XP synth (he doesn't seem to like many XP sounds) and saved each sample to multiple floppies? If he sampled short-duration sounds at only one note (and let the Triton automatically transpose the sample up and down the keyboard), he'd be able to save to a floppy. I had a Triton for a month and I sampled many drum hits, bass sounds, stabs, etc. and saved to floppy disks.

You're absolutely right about the extra cost of the Triton to make it into a full-fledged sampler, but I had to add all of that stuff (except SCSI) to my Kurzweil K2000RS to make it "complete" as well. By the way, Reggie, have you looked into the K2000S workstations?
