well thats kinda why I decided (for now) on the esx.
Built in sequencer e.t.c.
Looking to expand gear-drum and bass related, suggestions?

I guess thats why I choose the esx. If I sell my ion I could afford the esx.
Getting a virus tis a whole nother story. LOL!
I don't wanna let go of my fizmo!

The esx has an onboard sequencer which made it a cool thing to me.
However that mpc500 seems really neat and I've wanted one right after they came out.

the fact that so many dnb artists use pre-made sampled drum sequences (like the amen) is really making the genere repetative and predictable.
I say spend countless hours just programming some wicked drum-sequences. I've got my MC808 which can do jungle/dnb style drums nicely, and the ESX which takes drumloop-mangling to a new dimension. sure the amen break needs to be in there somewhere, as well as a healthy amount of different 808-booms and sub-bass drums. Most dnb artists spend most of their time mangling with drums anyway, it's not really the melody that's interesting to me anyway..
I say a lot of drum/percussion/sfx samples (but as few complete loops as possible), one sampler with hight resolution sequencer so you can do that micro-editing, and one with hands-on editing possibilities for those spontaneous, weird-out loops.
and get an Alesis Bitrman. seriously
