The MPC will power any USB midi controller that itself can be powered by its USB port (i.e. the vast majority of all midi controllers). This is a major strength over most other synths/grooveboxes out there that require you to connect them with midi cables and a separate power supply. In my opinion, this makes the MPC more portable than even much smaller grooveboxes in practice, since you don't need to bring so many cables with you.

I suggest getting a sustain pedal at the same time. Many of the synths respond to sustain, and it add a whole other dimension to their expressiveness.

I can highly recommend the bass station 2.
-You get a fully usb powered Analog synth.
-You can automate any switch on the bass station
-you can store up to 128 Patches
-you can use the flexible filter for filtering your samples
-you also can use the bass station for distortion your sounds
-in afx mode the bass station is usable as a mono drumsynth
-it also has a paraphonic mode

And you can route it through the input of the MPC, so you don't need a mixer, plus you can add the MPC's onboard FX.
