Finding a VST-sampler (easy to midi-map)

Hey! I need help to find a VST-sampler. This is what I need my sampler to do when the track is armed:
- Select one particular sample location (when a given midi-key is pressed)
- For this sample location (by pressing a midi-key-trigger), I will be able to select next sample in library.
With this setup I am able to change every sample loaded on all pads without using the mouse. Let's say I find the kick on pad C#2 to be weak, I only need to arm the track, press the C#2 pad, and press a assigned midi-button, and the next sample in the "kick-library" will be loaded onto pad C#2.
I have only found OneSmallClue - Poise to do the thing, but it uses hot-keys, and Ableton don't like hot-keys that well.
Any suggestion on VSTs that do this thing, free or pay-ware? If it is a free plug-in, I preferably want it to have multiple outs.
Thanks!

Well, this proves that the industry needs to acknowledge the mouse as a hinder for creative flow. Why not look at apple I-pod. They have one rotary button for volume/song-selection and stop/start, this is all you need. Why do we need to click a "million" mouse-buttons just to change the kick drum on a different track!
Sorry for the rant, but I am getting frustrated.

Thanks! But as far as I know, either you have to load every selectable sample in the memory (same as Ableton "128s method"), or you are not able to throw the mouse using the most basics in those plugins (I didn't do much testing).
Just a thought here: Every video I have seen from Maschine (haven't seen much on 1.8 ) or MPC Studio on YouTube, they always use the mouse frequently!! Either they haven't made a good start template, or the hardware/software integration is not optimal, i.e. the mouse is much faster or the controller can do little. Native instruments can milk the cow some more before they make the ultimate software & controller (not hating), in the mid time I am waiting/hoping for Bitwig or Ableton 9.
