Sampling and foot switches

[roccobladr]

Im in a cover band and we are going to start using some samples while playing live. The thing is that we dont want to have to buy/use a laptop while playing live.

Im looking for something like Roland [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
where I can just put an SD card loaded with the samples I want then be able to hit the button live and have it play through the PA.

The only problem with that is that I would want to be able to hook up a MIDI foot controller to be able to trigger the samples instead of having to stop playing bass and use my finger to press a sample.

I have been looking for a footswitch-controlled sampler for a while now.

Why don't you just get a loop pedal (JamMan) that takes CF cards, program the samples onto certain tracks, make yourself a list of what's where, and use that? That's what we do for our goofy between songs stuff, and we'll eventually use it to double the guitar parts easy peasey!

That sampler has a MIDI input. The manual is too massive for me to download right now, but I'd bet dollars to donuts that it's used for outboard triggering.
