    I don't know anything about samplers, but what I'm looking for is something with some kind of internal memory, which I can load short samples onto, and then play. With a decent amount of nice big buttons, and if possible some built in effects, like delays or reverbs. It would be going into a channel onto a mixer, so an RCA output is also needed.

    Does this kind of kit exist, and if it does, does it exist for under €200? The cheaper the better really, as I'll only be using it for kind of controllerism sample juggling to compliment a set.

    Had a bit of a look online, and it looks like something like an Akai MPD 26 would be right for me. Two things wrong with it though, it doesn't have built-in effects, but more importantly it looks like you can't use it as an analog controller, which I want to do. It has no analog outs and it's USB powered...any other suggestions?

    Thats a MIDI controller, as it says, not a sampler. It's not going to record or playback any noise without the aid of a computer or sophisticated hardware sampler.

    What you're looking for is one of these

    There's nothing really cheaper worth having in a live DJ set up.
