Simplest analog sampler for ~10 second audio clips between songs

Smylar 🎙️ · 29th August 2024

Hey, not sure exactly where to post this. I’m looking for a very basic sampler type of box that has maybe 5 or so buttons, to activate 10-20 second audio clips. I want our singer to be able to hit (or stomp on) a button between songs that plays a short sample. The simpler the better and am looking for something cheap under $200. Not too worried about audio quality. Used is great.

You might look for a used 360 systems instant replay.

There are a few on eBay right now.

Analog sampler? Bucket Brigade delay is the only thing I can think of that fit's that category. Totally not what you are looking for. One of the really old Akai S samplers (can't remember its name) but it would fit that bill....Akai MPX16 sample player would do.

Yep MPX8 or MPX16 - Definitely digital not analogue....but I guess you actually meant hardware not software.

Akai has numerous models that use an SD card - look on your favorite used gear sites.

this was a very clever but pricey device at the time - i doubt feeding a sampler in realtime is still much en vogue today though...

...but while we're talking about old but cheap tech: some cd players can get triggered via footswitch; they are cheap but not very versatile either.
