AKAI has just start shipping the MPC 500 series.
It's the newest and cheapest production of MPC-s.
(It's about 800 US dollar).
The MPCs have very good sequencers.

You can record, edit patches, edit patterns, save, control other synths, etc.... without stopping the sequence or abandoning menus...that's what i love of this sequencer. It can capture your ideas instantly.
