Is there anyone here who is using some sort of hardware groove box or sampler/sequencer with Mac, for live acts and music production?

Few models I have digged out spice up my imagination.. For example, little older but still good Yamaha SU700, but if combined with SCSI hard drive and additional RAM...

Then, Korg ElecTribe EMX 1, with even two tubes for vintage sound... New thing, sounds like it is easily combined with computer...

Boss or Roland SP 606, but with NO SUPPORT for Mac... s--t... Even SP 404 sound OK for starting point...

Any expiriences? Any owner advices? What should i look for when choosing stuff?

I'm little low on budget so up to 800 euros is TOP!

And I making some kind of ambient/deep/pop/chill/rock... He he... One more CyberGenre...

I'm using PowerBook g4 15" 1.67 with 1,5 gigs of ram, feeding it up with Ableton Live, Reason, Absynth etc...

I found the Groovebox sequencer very easy to use. I am trying to figure out the sequencers in Reason and I am having quite a tough time. I can't stand tech crap...I just wanna write! Is there a good tutorial book to read for Reason that will explain the very basics to me? Thanks!!

Yeah I Like the feel of the groove box. Reason is good too, and it just may be my bias, but i think it lacks in overall quality. I mostly sequence in software though.

But if your a visual person: I say go with soft sequencers (sonar,cubase,protools)
If your a more kinesthetic, more hands on, go with hardware like: roland groovebox, mpc, etc.
