What samples do you have in your kit?

I've got a Machinedrum MKII UW which I love, but I keep feeling it was a waste to go for the UW model, as I never use the sampling features of it. I went for it because practically every post I've read on the topic said I'd regret not opting for the UW, eventually.

In my software studio, other than one-shot drums, I don't use samples either, I'm very much synthesis minded in all the music I do.

In the MD I'm perfectly happy with the synthesis engines for drums, and sometimes for other sounds too. So one-shot drum samples wouldn't really add anything for me there.



I saw an official video of the Volca Sample a few days ago where the designer created an entire drumkit from a single chord sample. Am I right to assume I can do the same (or go even further) with the MD if I were so inclined?



What else can I do with the UW bit of the MD?

What sort of samples do you have in your MDUW (or similar samplers, for that matter)? How do you use them?

Single cycle waveforms to approximate subtractive synthesis?

Raw synth tones?

Drum loops?

Musical phrase loops?

Vocals?

Anything else?

What's the most interesting things you can do with those categories of sounds in a sampler context?



How about the RAM record engines? Do you use them in a live context? What do you record with it, and is there anything special you do with its playback?



Here are a couple of excerpts from my last gig, if you want some context for what I usually do in a liveact:

Thanks.
