The S-10 was intended to be the happy amateur's entry to the world of sampling. There's really not much to complain about: the sound quality is good, the operative system is easy to master and provides the user with a healthy set of editing facilities. Of course something had to be done in order to keep the cost down, like the Mickey Mouse-type QuickDisk drive and the incredibly small amount of memory. There is only four sampling banks of 32 kB each - we're dangerously close to straying into Toys'R Us territory here... I can't help it, but somehow it feels that there has been one compromise too many. Unless you can grab an S-10 REALLY cheap, I advise you to go for something else.
