Brilliant, and very enjoyable.
I can directly relate to what he's saying as Sampling when I was a kid changed my life. My first Sampler, the AKAI S01 set a fire alight inside me that sparked off so much creativity.
I had 1MB of RAM which I expanded to 2MB. The amount of things I did with that 2MB still to this day fill me with nothing but happy memories. I felt awesome as a kid and I would stay looping samples for ages until I got them seamless. Then I bought an AKAI S5000 with 256MB of RAM and a SCSI Drive. OMG... Wow.. As a kid, it's was almost as good as finding out that Girls existed.
To this day, I still have that very same AKAI S5000 Sampler and I will never sell it, plus a wife and two kids I love just as much  . That AKAI S5000 is in mint condition, not so much as a single scratch and it still sounds so unique and warm to me that nothing will ever replace it.
My core instruments are my AKAI S5000, Roland Integra 7, KORG KRONOS, KORG Pa3X, and a ACCESS VIRUS Ti2. The others are just toys to play around with.
The only thing that is missing is an Alesis Andromeda A6. Hopefully someday. 
Although KORG's new Pa4X is looking pretty darn sweet.
Regards
Sharp,

Awesome video! Just saw an Emulator II in Burbank/CA the other day in pristine condition!!! Pretty amazing what people were able to do with these instruments back in the days.....

I enjoyed his references to using tape. I had a TEAC 3340S and Roland SH3A which lead to many hours of recording bliss. Boxes of tapes stored somewhere. Probably decayed badly by now.

My 1st sampler was an E-mu Emacs soon replaced by the Emacs II . I see Jean has a Revox B77 ... loved my Revox A77 III, wish I had that back too!
