so, I've been using an alesis sr-16($150 ish??) since 1992 (use it everyday
and the same one still works fine, except buttons paint has worn). it is
easy to use, real-time or quantization, can change phrase length, time sig,
tempo, bpm tap, drum maps, great midi i/o for notes and clock(the master
clock is the most solid feature I use it for). all the other fancy sample
manipulation I just use the dm to trigger my sampler after I map it as a
drum map (can also be easily done with a laptop, routing in a software
sampler or similar emulation in abelton live).
