New Order is currently using it live. The drummer (Stephen Morris) has it set up next to his drum kit and plays it on certain songs. Here's a full concert from Berlin: http://youtu.be/0Bu1fkgUM7s

I'm thinking about getting the MicroSampler but not sure if it will do what I want it to do.

I'm in a band that plays mostly progressive rock and it would be cool to have something that can play sampled noises during songs. For example, Rush's song Red Barchetta has a car screech sound in the middle. Also, not sure if anyone is familiar with Porcupine Tree, but the song Halo has a rhythmic scratching sound throughout the song. I'd like to have a loop that can do this.

Would the microsampler do this or does anyone recommend something else?

I use it live in my band along with the R3 and M50.

Sampled a few of my old softsynths (I used to play pure software) that I couldn't ever get quite right on my other keyboards. It's not really very great for that kind of stuff since it has no portamento/filters and the effects are pretty limited, but with some tweaking I did manage to get a fairly faithful recreation of some hard to recreate softsynth sounds.

It's great for triggering normal samples though - for example, we have an intro narration, and some of our songs have voice/other sound effects. Also use it to play sampled crowd cheering/booing/etc just to be funny on dead nights.

I don't really even touch the thing at shows - it pretty much acts like a module, with my M50 controlling it. I'm not even coming close to using it to its full potential, but as far as a cheap addon sampler just to get me by until I can afford a Kronos, it has done its job well Smile

Here's a link to some vocal sampling, my first attempt.
