BRICKBOO.....

I had an old ENSONIQ VFX-SD Workstation that did exactly what you are talking about...I would string together an Intro/Verse/Chorus as patterns into a song...

SIMPLE.....I used an old ALESIS SR-16 Drum Machine

I can actually pick up an ENSONIQ VFX-SD USED for $225.....

But the pianos are weak, plus some of them had reliability issues if they weren't sent back to ENSONIQ for a soldering solution....

I'm REALLY thinking the KORG PA 500 will do what I want......

I really want everything in ONE board.......
