i got roped into playing a live gig this saturday, and have spent the last 4 weeks toiling day and night sampling my synths and drum machines so i can play a set using just my sampler, one keyboard, some fx and a dj mixer.

but i'm thinking i would have saved myself a lot of work and would probably sound better if i could just give up my luddite tendencies and get with a laptop and ableton. i guess there's always next year. ;)
