I'm using the yamaha rm1x with a lot of joy .this is a pattern based seq
with maximum live tweakability (pattern switch, track mutes ) so its
very well suited for our cyclic needs
Sorry I have no time to make you a review but here is a link
to all the rm1x stuff on the net

Come back after that and be my guest for some questions
