Sup YAAAAALL

I'm wondering what I should buy next. I'm suddenly craving a new piece of gear, after not making beats while at school.

I've got a mac, running old logic express, firewire'd to a presonus FP10. I've got HS50's with monstercables. I've got a MPC500, and a planet phatt, with a shitty old keyboard, but has MIDI in and out. I've got some other rack gear, mostly crap. Nothing over $150. I had a focusrite ISA One, but recently sold it because I couldn't justify keeping it, without having a neumann or something. For now I'll keep my cascade fat heads. I have a full room as a studio, desks, vocal booth, etc.

What would you recommend getting next?

I don't really want a preamp - i feel like nothing in my price range would increase my sound that much. New outboard gear? New keyboard? Different MPC? New logic? S900 or 950 or variations?

Ableton, I've been using it as a sampler recently. It's a very good program.

You already know Logic so my suggestion is to stay with this. What I did I bought myself a decent soundcard, then good monitors. Now I'm thinking about some real time mixer, but I gotta think about it. Buy what you need the most first.
