Hijack away. Shigeto uses an MPD26 and Ableton Live.

Looks like $500 for Ableton and $200 for a controller. Maschine Mikro: $350 (or less, from Audiodeluxe, but they seem out of stock), includes Maschine, the software that makes things happen. Me? I'd buy a used Maschine Mikro on eBay, mess with it, download a trial of Ableton, mess with it, and decide which software is more intuitive for you. If you want to spend another $500 on Ableton, you totally can. 'cuz Maschine will totally work with Ableton.

Awesome, thanks so much. Looks like all that's left now is to earn tons of money and then I can make all the music I want.
