S2400 drawbacks for me are the squishy step sequencer/ mute/solo buttons. The pads are ok but would have preferred the S1200 clicks buttons for this device.
But outside of this, the machine is an absolute pro piece of kit. Build is lovely, sound is fantastic, good connectivity with usb host and usb, plus midi. I've found it to be a great centrepiece for controlling midi alongside its audio tracks and looper. Editing notes is really easy once you get the hang of it, and it has a proper song mode. Whilst maybe not quite the level of MPC 4k I had, it's a really stable piece of kit for all round use.
Because it's more about the sound quality than anything else, ive typically used a separate sequencer, currently a Digitone 2, but prior to that had no issues using it as a main sequencer.
The additional features are not just designed for 20-30 year olds lol as someone else mentioned above. To me, these are exactly the features that logically make sense to add if you were building an Sp1200 style instrument in modern times. You can absolutely just use a limited workflow, which i do at the moment, or use it more in-depth (which requires so more learning).
My favourite piece of kit tbh, prob surpasses the 4k i owned. Mostly on the basis that the 4k was a dinosaur and was showing its age with hardware glitches. But S2400 is a great option for a more old school style of sample instrument with benefits of modern hardware .
