Any modern alternatives to the Electribe EMX / ESX?

Hi all,

I think the title says it all. I am looking for a groovebox to create simple electronic synth/bass/drum parts for my band. And needs to be tweakable on the fly. The Electribe looks perfect, but alas, no longer made. Are there any good alternatives out there? The only things I have found with consistently good reviews are the Elektron boxes, and the DSI Tempest. Both of which are probably out of my budget.

Am I missing something here, or are these types of units no longer made? I don't really want to go down the laptop route...

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately there is no alternatives to the EMX / ESX if the prize is a deciding factor. Though those two should be still available on ebay.
You might wanna have a look at: Roland Aira TR8 / Roland Aira System-1.
Maybe prizes are coming down for those.

If you look at the second hand market, you could find good deals on stuff like the Roland MC-909
