thank you for your input, but what i meant by the above, is that i 
would purchase the mpc or mp-7 and use thier sequencers, and then 
slave the triton le to them, thus, not having to use the triton le 
in seq mode where the ifx limitation applies.  Yes in both prog and 
combi mode i still only have 1 ifx and 2mfx but since id be using 
the triton le as a "sound module" it will work.  Personally i 
however disagree that the navigation on the triton le is clunky, 
IMHO, i really think it is what you are use to. 

when i go to play on the classic tritons in the store i hate the 
touch screen, but that is because i am use to my triton le.  i 
definately think the "button" layout on the triton le is better than 
the karma, although they seem similar they are not.  i do not find 
muting on the triton le difficult, all i  have to do is select the 
track and hit 1 button, not bad when you are use to flying around 
the screen with the cursor buttons.  

i actually owned the mpc2000xl, but sold it and bought my triton le 
becasue i wanted a synth and sequencer. (i bought the mpc for 800, 
and sold it for 1100!!) I was considering the mp-7 because i agree 
in that i think two samplers is overkill especially for the mpc and 
mp7 price differance. plus i wanted some emu sounds.  I am familiar 
with my triton le sampler and i like it.  i agree though that the 
mpc is better for drum samples and easier to navigate (although the 
triton is fine when you are use to it)  the triton le is especially 
good for multisamples.

my whole problem with the triton le sequencer is in that the ifx 
routing, even on the classic triton 5 ifx only gives you 5 differant 
possible programs; obviously you could share ifx, but i bought my 
board to use the sounds, not worrying about sharing sounds, that is 
why i bought the triton le because i new i would eventually buy 
another sequencer, most likely the mpc until i saw the mp7.

i like the triton sequencer with exception to the ifx.
so my other question is:  subtracting the mpc sampler and 
subtracting the mp-7 synth engine, which sequencer is hands down 
better in your honest opinion with a slaved sound module?
