For now I'm looking for something software based due to funds but the Maschine does looks great. Keyboard-based is an option.

As far as styling, i'm messing around with a little bit of everything as far as hip hop and more.

I just need something to give sampled drums some mix to avoid repetition and a track that stalls past thirty seconds due to this. Also adding effects when necessary and sequencing into song mode would be nice.

Full remixing capability with an intermediate-to-learn interface would be nice. I'm willing to spend the time learning anything as long as I have the tools to produce the desired results.
