Sampler/player solution for theater

Hi!

Had a performance to day, children theater, 2 persons on stage.

A local "sound-guy" playing our CD with bacground-music and effects.

Short story: He missed out on 1/2 of the cues..

Normally we have our cd-player with auto-cue (that's singel play) on stage, behind the curtains, starting it ourselves,

but it's a little sensitive to vibrations and needs some space, and setup-time.

 

So, I'm looking for another solution, preferably

- small

-rugged

-foot-triggered (not nesessary)

- stereo

- line out (balanced and/or unbalanced)

- at least 12 slots

- less-is-more, at least for big buttons

 

Any ideas?

 

Of course, I could use our current cd-player with DI-boxes,

but I'm looking into other options.

 

Thanks!

Roland's SP-303 is a "legacy" product, but it seems it has a lot of what you want - 16 samples, expandable sample time with SD cards, easy triggering, rugged, compact, etc. Shouldn't be too hard to find one used...I've seen them sell for around $180-$250. The JamMan is a really good choice too, but it may have more than you want because of all the cool looping feature.


I had a DJ friend who had an SP-202 and would go into the crowd before he played and have people say things, then work those samples into his set. It always went over really well.
