AKAI S3000XL - Please help me :(

Hi, this is my first topic sorry about my english but i'm italian
i've a question.. i want to buy an Akai s3000xl , on internet i've read that have a great quality and it can be still usable nowdays.
i need to use it with a very huge collection of samples.. my budget is very limited.. i found it at 150€.. the maximun that can i spend.. i've seen about a Roland VP 9000 at 80€ but the seller were not in Italy
how much samples can the "S" load in? because i've a 49 keys keyboard and i wanted to send a sample to every key.. in internet i read that in MULTI mode you can add only 16 samples... i don't know what to do.. 16 samples are few... ( for a project i've to assign at every key every word of Harder Better Faster Stronger of Daft Punk.. at least 30 samples..)

Cheers

In MULTI mode you get 16 midi channels, not 16 samples. You can load up to 255 individual samples if you have enough memory. The S3000XL is good enough for your needs, try to get one with the EB16 FX board installed.
