Im about to purchase another sampler by the end of today and just had a question about the 60.

How much memory is it upgradable to? Im going to using it to house my drums,so I was just wondering if would be able to hold up to 20 - 30 Meg's.

If not, Im assuming I would have to get the SCSI zip drive. But wouldn't the lack of ram interfere with the selection of drum kits on the go, or can you sift through the zip drive in real time??

any input would be greeeaaatly appreciated

You get 1.5 Mb's of ram max, 26.2 seconds of sampling time, and you can only hold one full memory load in the machine at once, you can load multiple programs but you can only use one per sequence, and they need to add up to 1.5 Mb's or less to do so.

for 32 megs you should get a 3000 or newer MPC. No one buys a 60 for the sampler, you get it for the integrated sequencer and sampler, but if you have an mpc and just need a sampler, get a nice rack unit.

If you have an MPC and you like it, just get a rack sampler, for drums, I like 12 bit, but if you don't need that, I'd look at the S5000 since it will give you a lot of good features. but even an S1000 would be good.
