I think the MPC would be a far better choice. It's a bit quirky at time,
but if you manage to be friend with it it can be a great base for your
studio. Providing sequencing as well as a good base for sampling. In a few
days I hope to get a SID-story up from our live-concert at Mekka2000 which
featured just a MPC2000 (with sampled SidStation-sounds) and two
SidStations.
