Mainstage3 is another program professionals are liking because of it's ease of use and programing. It is also not expensive. Computers are faster and have more memory and storage than hardware. If you don't like the Pa4x then using a computer is a great option that many are using. I personally like to keep it simple and have fun. But if I wanted to create a production, I would go the computer route and not get into too much hardware, it's just gets too expensive and complicated.

Just my thoughts. I know it didn't answer any original questions, but like others I think you need to rethink what you want to accomplish. There are better and much cheaper ways to accomplish the triggering of samples. One would be to have a multipad(s) connected to a computer though USB and trigger the samples in ableton or mainstage and through those programs also trigger the Pa4x when desired.

As an arranger the Pa4x was designed to be a standalone device that produces and plays back styles that are used to create a music minus one or two event. You can use it otherwise, but you will probably find limitations. Ableton and MainStage are designed for doing just what you are trying to accomplish.
