the AKAI MPC2000XL is a popular choice but a little finiky to use. around 500-650 GBP depending on which add-on boards its has - for live use you'll really need the 8output board.

A laptop and ableton live is what i use, it might suit you.

A yamaha RM!x and an AKAI s2000 also could serve your purpose or you might try the yamaha su700.

mpc 1000 would be nice. because you get the fx init and it takes 128 ram and i think it even comes with the 8 output. where as the mpc2000 you can only put 32 mb ram init and it doesnt come with fx or 8 output. just my op
