TBH this looks like the MPC Live (except done with by people with a bit of taste.)

Sketch out things when you're out and about, some simple recordings etc., then bring it back to the studio and just plug it in and have everything there. It's a good plan, and it looks like a great execution, too.

The Mpc live is a full DAW in a box (with speakers too!) though. At first glance this seems more like a portable drum loop machine.

This is literally Ableton Live, an actual DAW, in a box.
