Title explains most of it. I'm looking for something to have a bit more of a physical experience with rather than just tap tap tap on a DAW, something I could use in bed, on the go, ETC. (I could get a battery pack for the MPC One).

The main question is, when I have a daw to start mixing and mastering what I've worked on, which system would you recommend? One of the big draws to the MPC system is the fact you can get as far as basic mixing with it, which would be nice to be able to do on the go, but is of far less value than considering I am very happy with my DAW for those tasks, just want to break from it every once and a while.

From my understanding, once you remove the powerful daw-like capabilities of the MPC One, you are left with an extremely powerful sampler with great pads, but not the most inspiring workflow.

The SP404 MKII, despite being a much less capable machine, seems like it might be a bit more inspiring to work with, especially because my main goal it to mangle samples, resample and repeat, roughly compose them, and then export to FL Studio to finish up. However, I've been wanting to get into finger drumming, and coming from my existing controllers (a sensel morph and Fire) I wanted a bit more of a, how to I put this kindly, pleasant, drumming experience.

I make sample based industrial music, resampled guitars, drums, noise loops, with some synth over top. Think early NIN with a bit of the Caretaker mixed in.

Appreciate y'all ♥️
