As long as the Computer a Sequenzer and/or editor

Other than that you could take the PCR-A30, the bigger brother of the PCR-1 that is 
capable to send

, has MIDI-In/Out and a pretty good Keyboard, (rather

pressive sounding) built in speakers...

If you don't need the Audio Outputs there's the PCR-M30 avaiable as 
w
ell or you might be able to still get the older less

pensive PCR-30 
some

here, afaik it's only missing the velocity curves (does velocity but only reacts in one

ay) and the keyboard is missing the additional dampening and thus makes a bit more noise

hen playing it...

Don't go for the very cheap ones they tend to have horrible Keyboards...
The best thing is to test it in a shop nearby...
