IMO, to be considered a sampler, an instrument has, at least, to be able to map several samples across the keyboard (that's the very basic requirement). I know that some people will argue that to be a sampler it should sample, but I'm not as extremist.
I wasn't trying to argue either. Actually, the differences between synthesizer and sampler are so blurred now that sometimes it's hard to define what is what. For example, Falcon, which is the topic here, can hardly be considered a sampler anymore. IMO, It's more a powerful synthesizer workstation that also uses samples
