Hi, was wondering if anyone could advise me as I don't know much about the world of keyboards.
At the moment we're using an Akai MPX to play samples live, but what we really need to to be able to play the samples as different notes. The Akai can be triggered by a midi keyboard but this doesn't let you play one sample as different notes, just different sample per keyboard key.
Does anyone know of a keyboard or synth that can play samples across the scale that we have loaded into it, rather than preset sounds already on it? Is this possible with a single bit of kit or does it require a keyboard and a separate sample bank?
I realise that it would be easiest to do this using a laptop but I don't want to go down that route with laptops in a live set up etc.
Thanks
George
edit: I don't need to be able to record the samples directly onto it. We're doing that and editing on a computer, I just want to be able to then load onto sd card or whatever and play with a keyboard.
