Whats good, I'm trying to get another sampler that goes "good" with an SP. I'm looking for something with filters, could be 12-bit/16-bit, could be a keyboard or rackmount, with sound modeling capabilties, effects.
Here's what I've condsidered thus far:

Akai S950
Roland JV1080
Akai MPC 60 II
Ensoniq ASR-10
Ensoniq EPS 16+

Anybody got any suggestions on those listed or have any other recommondations? SP users especially? Thank you, appreciate it.

Ensoniq ASR-10
Akai S1000/3000/3200
Ensoniq ASR-X

The s950 is great but it doesn't go as deep as the one's I just listed.

Casio FZ-10m...
use it for sampling and the sp for drum layering and sequencing.
The casio got great sound

When set as the master controller, does the SP1200 control Akai S950 samples? Can samples or programs from the 950 be arranged in the SP's sequencer? Or is this all done seperately (multi-track recorder/computer sequencer)? Can they be integrated when you don't have a mixer?

What's the science on how these two samplers communicate?

the s950 doesn't have any pads or keys or a sequencer built in, so the SP1200 would preferably be a master control.
