Meridian Data in San Jose (USA: 408-555-1212 for phone # information)
sells something called the SoundByte.

This is a $499 sound sampler that talks to a PC via a parallel port.
I can't remember if it's 12- or 16-bit sound.  So, if you already have
a computer rig and a large hard disk, this might be a nice sampling
module for your system.  I don't know if it samples in real-time.
It also plays back.  Again, I don't know if it's real-time.  It has
some sort of DSP chip on-board, but I don't know if you can download
your own software.
