Summary: 

Just to confirm the KORG digital sampler rumour, but with a slight variation:
I believe the reference was to the KORG SDD-2000 digital delay unit which
also performs digital sampling.  I DID see one at a local music store, but
haven't really had a chance to try it yet.

What I know, is that it seems to allow for either 4 seconds of delay, or
4 seconds of sampling (depending on the mode).  The sampled sound can
be controlled from a MIDI keyboard, but only produces mono output (no
simultaneous chorus sounds, for instance).  I did hear a sampled voice
played back via MIDI control- it seemed like the sample length shortened
as the pitch increased.  I think they could have kept the sample length
even, but you can't have everything.  I didn't really get to try any of
the multitude of options, but I plan to go down there and really check
it out in the next couple of weeks.

List price is $695.
