Elektron Musical Instruments

Now you got me thinking.  I have to say I think the mpc1000 has better
effects and sequencer resolution (96 per 1/4 note! smooth).  I think
the command station is cheaper but more controls and probably easier
to use?.  Can the command station sample?  I'm sure it's good for live
improv.  I'll take your word for it.  You can do live improv with the
mpcs too, but no live sampling only sequencing.  I think there is a
debate on the mpc-tutor forum.

As for ableton; ableton is great for matching audio files to tempo.  I
like it.  It has no midi sequencing.  Maybe in the future?  If you
record all your audio, all you need is the tibook for a live show. 
But I don't think a laptop can make a good show.
