I'm very new to producing music so bear with me here.

I want to be able to make loops and sounds on the xp-60 and then send them to the sampler to be mixed with vocals or something and then be able to press a key on the xp-60 to start any loop or phrase on the sampler.

I'm looking to spend around $1000. Keep in mind that I'll try to get a used sampler on ebay. So if the sampler is $1600 retail then it should hopefully be about a $1000 on ebay.

I'm not sure what type of memory I need. I want to create intense techno songs so I guess I need a decent amount. I also want to use this sampler with my xp-60 in live situations. That is extremely important.
