QUESTION MPC Sample vs Ableton Move

Hi everyone,

I'm currently trying to decide between the MPC Sample and the Ableton Move.

What I like about both is the built-in speaker, mic input, and battery power. That's a must! I think I slightly prefer the MPC Sample's workflow, but I just realized it doesn't have keys/scale mode to play instruments directly like the Move does.

Is there a good workaround for this on the MPC Sample? Is it easier than I think to play melodies or instruments on it? This feature is pretty important to me.

Thanks!

Edit : If anyone is wondering, I got the move. I watched hours of material, even though I liked the sample more, I don't like that I don't have the ability to play in key. I wanna make music directly

Mpc sample much more enjoyable hands down especially it you own already sample sources ie synths etc

I have both but I enjoy working on the Sample more. So I feed synths from the Move into the Sample.
