my first sampler was mono, 8 bit, and with functions to match. my current sampler is an s2k, which is more capable, reproduces more accurately, but even using premade templates, it still takes way longer to set up a kit. the multi step filter just drives me crazy to configure. i don't know what new samplers there are that will give you decent sound with a cheesy, easy interface, but i'd look into it if you want to get stuff out, since going straight into a more powerful unit might bog you down.

Getting to learn the a3k is quite a steep learning curve for the first week but then things fly along.. It's just a case of knowing where stuff is..
Like Craig says buy an a3k and learn it back to front, inside out.. I have said this a few times, I am still discovering new funky things to do with this sampler.
Even something simple like buying a boss overdrive pedal and chucking some sounds though that will change the way you work for a while.. It's all about inspiration, expensive equipment shallowly learnt won't result in good tracks however well produced they are.
I'm going to stick my neck out and suggest an a3000 with output board, nice rack delay unit, a multi FX (to work along side the a3k's FX), decent mixer with mid swept eq (mackie or something), a few funky pedals (overdrive, flanger, chorus (boss are quality), a dat recorder, maybe a compressor, plenty of leads, a lava lamp (essential, something to stare at when listening rather than the screen), lots of fruit juice..
You can produce club quality tracks with the above setup.. Add a couple of analogue synths for the squelch side of things and your laughing.
