Has anyone used the Roland SP-808 groovesampler with the D-Beam controller? Is it reliable? I mean, it would suck if you're performing (DJ'ing for example) and the sample that's supposed to come on next doesn't come up.

The best sampler? what kind do you mean... The SP808 is mainly a dj oriented tool / realitme for stage performance... However in the studio it is a whole other story.

How do you want to use your sampler exactly?

Maybe you could get the Roland MC-303 Groove box. IIts pretty cool. It has 40 synth basses, 35 synth leads, and 33 synth pads onboard.

12 rhythm kits, built-in vintage synth sounds and arpeggios. It has an 8 track sequencer, and a whole lot of other stuff. Check it out!

P.S. There's also a MC-505 groovebox that I heard was hot.

Let's read the topic again my friends "sampler"

But you know what... unless you are a "scene guy" or 100% performance DJ, I would stay away from these types of "boxes" if you are a studio man.

For realtime fun, these machines are good though..

Take a look at the Akai MPC2000XL : sampler + sequencer...
you got pads on it to play samples, time-stretching, function Slice sound (to cut your loops in many samples),....
I have a sampler Akai (CD3000) and never had any kind of problems with it...

The MPC2000 XL is a very good one. Got great feedback from people in the industry. O think this Yamaha should be a funny one too.

How about the new Electribe S ?

There is an article on onlineDJ.com here:

Seems good to me too... As realtime machines (I wouldn't use those in a studio... Or maybe I would, but I'd prefer to stick with a rack sampler if I don't perform live)
