I would very much like to know EXACTLY what these things do.

Sampler.

Beat Machine.

May sound like a dumb question, but i would like to know if and how these 2 things might eventually help me in making hip hop beats.

What are the best brands??

How much should i be paying for these brands?? (2nd hand prices included)

thanks!
