    The M8 caught my eye cos I'm after a little sofa noodler.
    I completely miss the OP-1 for this purpose, just pick it up and play!

    A friend whos a bit of a hiphop head but never made music got Koala app and got me to download it too. It's decent and I got myself an MPD218 so its then got pads but coming from a DAW background I'm finding the restrictions annoying.

    So been looking at Akai MPC Live 2. Beatmaking daw in a box that can be picked up and played anywhere like the op1 (a bit bigger lol) and is a pretty complete DAW without needing to plug anything else in cos of battery and built in speaker.

    Or thinking a Model Cycles/Samples just for some noodling fun powered by usb battery - cos really I dont have time to be making music or learning new OS's! ;)

    Havent had GAS for over a year but kinda itching at the moment.
