I just found this Thing (It looks like a real fun to have it between soundsource and my SP303) and bought it from Ebay UK (now waiting for shipping).
They are actually dirty cheap now
Big plus for me: No need to delete recorded sample, just record another instead of old one. It has no memory for storing sample (after powering the unit off, it's gone).
Anyone is using one of these?

I hope I can modify it to change pitch / samplerate continuously by some pot.
It seems they are from around 1999/2000
