Maybe... depends on the application. This is the reality in today's choices
in the workstation-sampler arena. Some are good at sequencing samples (MPC
series), some are good at sequencing phrases (SU-700 or SP808). The SP808's
strength is the effects, storage capacity, the convenience of ZIP storage,
ease of use, and the fact that it is a very credible 8 track HD recorder (as
long as you deal in stereo track pairs).
Going the separate sampler/sequencer route is certainly a good option. But
it is also a matter of taste, and in some case a matter of personal
productivity.
