As told before, i had your same dream. I hated Pcs and i thought i could play without it.
I had a MPC500 with 128Mb, a Virus C, a proteus 2000, a midi keyboard, connected with midi. After one year i discovered that this setup was frustrating to me in terms of music composition.
All the sounds were badly mixed, the Virus poliphony ended immediately, and i was not satisfied without a touch of good mix and effects. To sample and resample in the MPC was a pain. So the work to move all the files and samples from the MPC to the computer is frustrating too, so one day i decided to stay in one place only, without suffer.
This place is the Pc. and i tell you that I'm happy now thanks to Ableton Live, which is a wondeful new approach to composition. It's non-linear.
Every midi/mpc/sampler combination allows you to compose in the same way of all DAWs around there. With Ableton Live your approach is completely different, try it.
