I forgot to add Maschine to the list of DAWs, but yeah it definitely counts as one. I tend to use it sort of like a plug-in, but it can be a host all in itself. Cubase has a couple of plug-ins, one called Groove Agent (like a 16 pad drum machine that has a bunch of kits) and another called Beat Designer (like a step sequencer with cool editing features), that I may look into at some point, but I still like using Maschine for everything beat related. I keep the Maschine editor open on a secondary monitor, separate from the main host screen, then when I put something together I like I drop the audio into the host, rinse and repeat. I still have barely scratched the surface of what Maschine can do, I plan to revisit that one very soon as I plan to use it for pretty much all sampling needs.
