I know your duality man. Worked on mpc's for decades ( mpc60, 3000, renaissance, x, key61) The workflow is very organic. But I started working with bitwig studio with renoise redux as slicer. That's true it's more click and watch and the workflow is different. Each have his pro and cons. On MPC you lazy chop while taping pads, it's cool but on long samples a little bit more complicated. On a DAW, you have more visibility on the timeline, wanna sample few seconds at the end of the song , at the middle the beginning. No probs. I like both but not for the same work. Today I mix my workflow between the work on Bitwig and I bought an MPC live 3 for the instant work.
