What's your aversion to using a computer with a MIDI keyboard? You are going to need a MIDI keyboard at some point.
And more to the point the MPC sampler sucks unless you have a 4000 or 5k where you can properly sample those synths, key group them, loop etc..Sure you can stick sounds on pads but for one you don't even have a MIDI keyboard to play riffs+chords into the MPC to sample!...one key a pad is going to get rather boring and suck very quickly not to mention eat your polyphony and sample time.
For the price of that software why don't you just buy a REAL synth..oh wait you don't want to cos there isn't a synth in your price range that does every sound on earth and has 10000 presets ready made for you to be spoon fed or be able to download a cracked version?
Hardware is CHEAP at the moment...Roland Alpha Juno I paid 70 quid for and 120 for a JX3P..there two cheap analogues..You want a rompler with a wider range of sounds from E-Piano's to flutes and synth sounds? fine they go for peanuts too from the M1 to the EMU stuff...want a FM synth? great how about 150 for a DX7 or 80 quid for a DX-27? Classic synths that have been used on countless classic house tracks.
