The old school move is to connect a midi keyboard's midi OUT to mpc midi IN and then connect mpc midi OUT to s900/950/5000 etc midi IN.
Either way you can build beats in real time/overdub mode with tap tempo...or use the step sequencer. Their legacy, rep is legit.

I would sooner recommend you look into a 2000XL or 4000. Less money than the 60s and more features, storage options, better display etc.
That is probably a better bet for most users, if you/they were to go the MPC route.

It's easy to set up things in the 16 'voices' so you can mute, unmute etc on the fly to make it seem like a song, but if you're not interested in live playing then it might not work for you. It's fantastic for playing a mixture of synthesis/drums and samples though, and has lots of cool performance features. Not a 'hit play and play along with it' machine though...
