Hardware sampler to use with live.

[cockandswan]

I'm using Live mostly as a multitracker in the studio and I'm looking for a good controller/sampler that I can easily swap my Sampler macros onto. I like the M3's interface, but all the demos make it sound pretty bad in terms of it's on board sound. Would this be an easy workstation to load all my Sampler stuff onto? Any other thoughts on hardware samplers/controllers so I can skip the laptop thing, or just have something real to play in the studio without having to mouse around. Also considering a Nord electro, though obviously that'd limit the interface and sampling options. Not looking for anything huge like an 88 key workstation.

Thanks.
