Yes you can do that on any MPC.
But don't base your choice on one feature that you might use once and move on. Do a bit more research on the different models. You can download all the manuals from akaipro.com and read for yourself how each mpc handles sounds and sequences.
Having said that, I think the mpc2000 or the XL are fine machines to start on
You may well never need another MPC.
