[rec.music.synth] synth, sampler, Mac, bop

	I'm trying to decide whether to buy a digital synthesizer or a sampling
keyboard.  I plan to use my Mac as a sequencer.  The question I have is can I
sample my own sounds with MacRecorder, and then have them available on the
sampling keyboard?  Is it that easy?  The keyboard has a 3.5" disk drive, but
I doubt that it can read Mac formatted disks.  What is the process of sampling
sounds with a digitizer, then porting them over to the sampler.  If it's too
difficult, I think I'll just get the synthesizer, since I can create more 
complex sounds with it than with the sampler.  

	BTW, the two products I'm looking at are a Kawai K1 synth, and an
Ensoniq sampler.  Please e-mail!  Thanks!
