| Does Microsampler has this feature? I would like to be able to map 4 samples per key(s) and switch them with velocity. If not, is there a compact sampling keyboard that does that? |

You can't switch samples at velocity but you can vary the volume by velocity.
So basically you can emulate a harder strike like a piano hammer.
Download one of the Grand Piano banks here to see how it works:

Have a look around the Sound Collections here. Lots of free banks for Microsampler. |

| So this is not a sampler but a toy. Even the Roland DJ70 from 1990 had this option dammit! |

Personally, I wouldn't call it a toy. (You may of course) It may not be able to do the multiple velocities per key, but it sure can do a ton more things that might be more relevant to modern electronic music. For example, it has great key-lock for loop-based music, great set of FXs, the ability to re-sample to created extremely unique sounds, it's own mic, and the ability to run on batteries.
I wouldn't give mine up for anything. I would get an Octatrack, though, but for different reasons to use with the microSAMPLER.

| It just pisses me off when someone puts out the unit that has been outclassed over 2 decades ago. Wait, I am lying the SCSI is gone and it got replaced with USB. We should be thankful! Btw the DJ70 was no slouch, I bet it had all the features the microTOY has. Don't get me wrong, I am not bashing all over KORG as I own M3 and like it. KORG IF YOU ARE READING PLEASE ADD THIS BASIC SAMPLING FEATURE TO THE OS AND I WILL BUY IT IN A HEARTBEAT. |

I looked up the specs on the DJ70 and for me, not even close. Doesn't even have any FXs (not even reverb or delay). There is a lot more to the microSAMPLER then most people see. But again, not for everyone.
Have you looked into finding a DJ70? Does it actually do the multi-sample per key? I couldn't find info on that spec. Plus that thing weighs 18 lbs.!!! Must be build like a tank! 
Also, have you come across any other keyboard samplers that aren't full workstations that have the multi-sample per key? I am interesting in something like that as well.

Maybe the microSAMPLER version 2 or version XL, but I won't be holding my breath.

Yeah, but I need one soon and need 4 samples per key feature. Telengard, did you check out the Beat Thang:http://www.bketech.com/beat-thang-tour/ ?
They lowered the price and seems to have all the features I want + it's quite portable. |

I was watching for it before it came out. I always thought it looked like a great piece of kit, but didn't want to spend the money on it. I think it was $1200.00 when it started out. Last I heard was when they were talking about getting it sold at best buy. Seems like a lot of people looked at it like it was a joke. Don't remember much about it anymore, though I remember thinking that if I was going to spend that much money on it, I would get and Octatrack instead.
It still seems a bit limiting in some ways. I don't think there is any automation and didn't see specs on multi-sample key velocity.

Wow, are the samples based upon velocity? I am sure you could hook up an external keyboard and control it via MIDI.

| Yes through standard MIDI IN or USB MIDI, it even powers the controller if you go the USB route and can run for 4 hours or so on rechargable batteries. Just got a reply from them when asking some questions and they say the BTV (software version) has exactly the same features as hardware unit. You can download a demo version of it and see what all it can do, I know I will. It runs for 14 days as a full version. Here link:http://www.bketech.com/btv/features/ |

Interesting, I will have to have a look.

Just to let you know that Beat Thang after all doesn't have some basic sampling features so is a no go for me. I am now all warm up for a mighty Kronos instead  I know they are not in the same league to begin with but I just sold my other keyboard and Kronos 61 is not that big after all and it is a dream machine. |
