Bill Rosenkranz mentioned sampling keyboards.

Bill:  What about the ADAP sound rack?  Isn't that a 16-bit sampler?  I
       thought they were about $2K -- competitive with the 12-bit 
       samplers if you have a good controller keyboard.

   There's a strore here in Maryland called the Guitar Exchange which 
sells keyboards (as well as guitars and everything else musical).  I was
down there about a month ago and saw the ADAP rack, controlled by
guess what, an ST!  They have a mac too...
   The guy gave me a demonstration of the E-mu II (another sampling
keyboard).  Basically, he had "obtained" samples from "Owner of a
Lonely Heart" and was playing the song entirely with the keyboard
(it actually sounded like the recording) and mentioned that Yes actually
used exactly this method to produce most of 90125.
   Aren't samplers neat?
