Samplers / Sampling

Qu-Bit’s Wave is presumably named after the Wave (wav) format samples it plays — up to four of them at once. A 4GB MicroSD card is included, ready-populated with drum hits, vocals, synths and sound effects, easily enough to get you going...

Boss’s latest desktop looper might be small, but it’s no lightweight in terms of features.

The MicroGranny 2 is a miniature granular sampler, and you won’t have to sell any of your elderly relations to get one.

Will Alesis’s affordable sample–triggering percussion pad prove hard to beat?
