High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The IBM M44/44X was an experimental computer system from the mid 1960s, designed and operated at IBMs Thomas J. Watson Research Center at Yorktown Heights, New York. It was based on an IBM 7044 (the M44), and simulated multiple 7044 virtual machines (the 44X), using both hardware and software. Key team members were Dave Sayre and Rob Nelson. This was a groundbreaking machine, used to explore paging, the virtual machine concept, and computer performance measurement. It was purely a research system, and was cited in 1981 by Peter Denning as an outstanding example of experimental computer science.

Best/recommended DJ equipment to sample with?
Need some experienced opinions on this.
I have:
2 Technics SL-1200mk2 direct drives
a Behringer DJX700
some Technics RP-DH1200 headphones
2 Shure M44-7 needles mounted on Technics cartridges
I know this is an ideal starter setup, but I'm trying to figure out a good sampler. Should it be along the lines of a Korg electribe MX or SX, or maybe a Kaoss pad? What is rated best/works best?
An 'experienced opinion'? How's this: I've been DJing since 1988 professionally, I have played house, hip-hop, hard techno, drum 'n bass, and experimental/ambient music...I am also a producer who has released 5 ep's worldwide and am also releasing a new album this year...I have owned 18 different outboard samplers, 50-60 different synthesizers/drum machines...and I now solely use the computer to create my music...Now that the intro's out of the way....
Seems like you have a decent setup for mixing and such. Have you considered the computer that you are using right this very minute for sampling? With an audio interface, some software, and a little bit of musical ingenuity (you'll have to provide that yourself;), you could be on your way instead of buying an outboard machine that you'll have to take even more time to learn.
Suggestions:
1. For a good audio interface, try nearly anything by M-Audio-for desktops they have great PCI cards and for laptops they make really nice FW and USB interfaces-some like the Firewire Audiophile (I own one myself and love it) are made for the DJ/producer...I use mine live and have never had an issue with it...
2. For sampling? Well, Ableton Live is about one of the best and most flexible pieces of software you'll ever get your hands on...try version 4 with all of the bells and whistles you'd like...version 5 has some bugs but adds a synth if I remember correctly...Live has the ability to sample from external sources (like the output from your DJ mixer) and warp and stretch and completely MANGLE any sound you can put into it...it also has a brilliant sequencer and great help tutorials...some have even used it for vocals...I remastered and remixed an entire hip-hop project CD in Ableton Live including moving vocals and backup vocals around in the track...did I mention Ableton Live comes with its own effects? Oh...and if you buy the aforementioned interface you may get a 'lite' version of the software which will give you the basic tools to start working with sounds.
As for the Electribes...well, I think your money is best spent elsewhere mainly because the SX is really limited in its sampling time and what you're able to do with the sample once it's in the machine...it's nice to be able to see what the sound 'looks' like when you are editing it...and consider the bigger picture-you are only limited to hard drive space with your computer...conceivably, you could sample 5 hours of audio with a decent sized hard drive-like around 30GB-and STILL HAVE MORE ROOM FOR STUFF! I have a 30 gigger in my laptop and about 7-8 hours of music...I have 18 G available...you cannot do this with an electribe.
BTW, the Kaoss Pad is only an effect...it doesn't sample...
Lastly...
Your investment financially in recording equipment would also be much less if you use your computer...you already have one...so all you'd really need is an interface ($139 at amazon.com), some cables and software...and then maybe bump your ram up to 512MB-1Gig...all cheap fixes. And if you buy any outboard gear...you'll rarely get what you paid for out of it on the used market...consider that 2 devices usually sell for anything close to their original price-Roland's TR909 and 808 (and still at a discount from their 1980's prices).
I know I am long-winded, and you now prolly have more info than you need...but, take it from a born researcher-this is the best way to go...below is a link to the audio interface and also to my webpage with some of my computer-created work...hope this helps.
