Do you want to use a hardware sample (kind of outdated) or a software sampler?

Most software samplers as well as the hardware samplers come with sample libraries. Some are larger then others. And also what type of samples are you looking for? Cakewalks Dimension Pro comes with a huge library of sounds and there are adder packs that will give you more types of instruments and sounds.

first, you cannot 'sample' with a midi controller...all sampling is, is recording audio....you use the controller to 'trigger' the sample (playback) at whatever proper time you wish...

i can see english is not your first language, so let me know if i'm unclear about this.

what are you looking to sample? loops? random percussive 'hits'? or ambient noise from nature?

what's your goal here? what do you want to sample?

you just admitted to english not being your first language right there.

I feel your pain. I grew up on a farm, shooting stuff... killing squirrels and defenseless birds... I reckon it's difficult not to revert back to farmer drawl when at home.

Yup Zek, you're right. I hate giving my address over the phone. It's a career choice in itself.
