Hardwer or software sampler?

What sounds better:"The same sample of,lets say,
bass guitar played from EmuE4Platinum or played from Halion or GigaStudio on computer with Motu2408?
I know that there is differences between Emus and Akais samplers in alogorithm,but I wonder are the software samplers enough good in producing sound as they are hardware samplers.
Thanks in advance.

GigaSampler /Kontact

I would love some feedback from users of Giga Sampler or Giga Studio (I don’t know what the difference is). I am considering Giga Sampler in lieu of a hardware sampler mainly due to the fact it would be easier to record-edit-store on my PC. I would love to hear your praises / shortcomings with this line. I am mainly going to use drums / piano /strings /sound effects.

Electrix Repeater (digital loop/phrase sampler)

Has anybody tried one of these things?

I'm non-DAW (I use a DA7/Mx2424 set up),
and could occasionally use something like this...

I have a sampling K2000, which could probably work,
but it isn't really something I grab when I need
to quickly manipulate a sample...

TIA,

Record sampler to disk

Please help...

I got Unity DS-1 with DP and Unity manual says it can be recorded once inside DP... I tried routing aux to audio tracks, Unity to audio tracks, bouncing to disk... I got everything running and sounding, but still can't have it recorded to disk.

I must have the work done tomorrow evening and I'm starting to think I'm in trouble.
