i wouldnt ditch your hardware sampler if i was you....
besides getting another laptop running live, im working on:
getting a second-hand akai 2000xl/or/korg electribe sampler so that i can work on one set in live , then run a suitable sequence from either sampler in sync.....and then change the set on my laptop.
im still browsing through different forum threads on topics that relate to this (syncing etc) ...
but essentially , i believe your hardware sampler is in no way useless because of your new found love in ableton live......it still has a use as a bridge between set-changes

actually, mine's in storage. i wouldn't sell it, because it may be fun for future projects - i keep forgetting i have it, though. imho -most samplers wouldn't have enough resale value to be worth getting rid of, unless you could get enough for it to buy a laptop,moniters, or some other serious piece of kit.

I sometimes regret getting rid of my old Akai S2000. It sounded so unique with the drums, and IMO sounded a lot better than Impulse. Something with Impulse is just... Lacking, I dunno.
But I had to get rid of it because compared to software, it was pretty tedious to use, and it was hindering the creative process. I think I just need to get an actual drum machine of some sort.

Well, I'm pretty much using an ASR10 keyboard as a midi controller...but occasionally sample and chop with it since it's so intuitive for that task. But.... I can also follow the same workflow in Live...yet with more precision.
sidenote: I do find a difference in favor of the ASR regarding the character and quality of bass and lower frequency sounds.
So as soon as I find a midi controller that I like, then I'm afraid I might not have any use for the ASR anymore. It would seem too redundant to me...
It would be great if some Live users can share their workflow using both a hardware sampler and Live together in a cohesive and efficient way. Or do most people work and freak it "in-the-box" (the hardware sampler) and then export it into Live?
thanks for all your responses!

i just picked up an mpc4000 and i couldn't be happier with it. Making beats just works for me so much better on the akai. to me, it's a tremendouse difference in sound character and feeling i can achieve that i really like. but also there are many things I love doing with live that i can't do with the mpc. Splicing, rearranging, and editing samples can be done in a very easy and extremely creative way in live. So often i sync them together. If i'm sampling old soul or disco records i often prepare the loops in live and send them over usb to the akai. it's a snap. the two get along together quite well.
