Sampler mode would be for making short recordings that you would play back as a sound - for example sound effects. You wouldn't use sampler for longer recordings like a whole song.
I don't agree totally with you on that point.
By any hasard I learned the power of this sampling mode.
I have a TV program on internet and I record the sound of it into the sampler of the Oasys.(This is even done in Program Mode) The program is generally 30 minutes. So that makes me a file about 350 MB on the hard-disk
A week ago or so I forgot to check "Disk" in the Sampling Setup.
So the whole thing went into RAM.
First I couldn't find the file anymore and finally found it in the Sampler on C2!
The whole thing was on 1 note!
To copy the recordings to the hard-disk, I had to hold the note so that the sample would be played back to the hard-disk and recorded there.
I was flabergasted by the power of the Oasys through this error.
I had also in mind that sampling like this was for short sounds etc... like you have, but this tought me a new lesson. The Oasys is unbelievable in that sense. You can put a whole movie on a key in your keyboard if you like! (Of course it is limited by the RAM-capacity, but still)
But as you said, normally you would record into the sequencer.
BTW there is a nice tutorial from Mike somewhere about the different possibilities of using buses with "a" mike (and vocoder).
Also I would recommend Mike Conways DVD "Unofficial Oasys". It teaches you all the basics of the O.
Good luck
