Hardware samplers

Colour was indeed what I was thinking.

The bases are a Wavestation SR, a Proteus 2000 with currently three ROMs 
(Beat Garden, Techno Synth Construction Yard and Extreme Lead), a Micro 
Q, and in a different part of the house, an AN1x and a fully-laden EX5. 
The Microwave 2 is on my wish/watch list.

  As for software, there's Arturia's V Collection 6, Arturia's Pigments, 
and some other stuff that I've forgotten about.

I'm having trouble with the software workflow, strange as that may sound.

That, at least, is cheap. I'm still not quite sure how to do the whole 
software effect thing, though. But hardware effects are something I 
haven't considered, and probably won't consider either.
