Vdrum pads + Korg ES-1 Electribe Rhythm Production Sampler?

[DRulz]

I am looking into possibly getting a hardware sampler for the vdrums for added sound flexibility, etc..

Anyone have the Electribe es-1? How is it compared to MPC2000 or any of the higher end akai sampler/sequencers?

(Basically, I would like to replace my software sampler BATTERY with a hardware one for less latency, etc)

Is this Electribe a good alternative? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

No convenient way to save / swap samples on es-1 compared to a regular sampler. On the plus side, it's a great, easy to use beat box that you could control with one hand while playing along with for some cool on the fly jamming.
