This part I fully agree with.
In other news, I'm in a bit of a dilemma. A while ago I had purchased a hardware sampler for use in my music, only to receive a few disappointments:
1. The sound quality. It doesn't have the lofi quality I expected, even if I should've expected it because the "improvement" in sample interpolation was in effect as of a few years before this came out.
2. The storage medium options. Mine came with a Zip drive, which I really don't want to use because of the drive's relatively high chance of failure. Floppy disks are formatted to an unusual size for its type, so porting those to my computer via an external floppy drive is not an option. Also tried a CompactFlash card reader only for it to be incompatible, and I'm busy ordering a custom RS422-to-USB cable for the sampler.
Even if that last trial in point two works, honestly, I'm starting to think buying it was a mistake. The sampler doesn't even have any effects, unless you count a quirky detuning effect that the manufacturers call chorus. Besides, for the lofi sound I had hoped for, I've already pulled it off in software somewhat thanks not only to bitcrusher plugins, but also thanks to the Waldorf PPG Wave 3.V VST.
