Just read your post a bit closer - what are you using as a sequencer? that's where you want to start, depending on how you're sequencing stuff, you'll know what you'll get a better feel for what you need... just reaktor + a micron would be a difficult way to start... reaktor is great but only as an instrument or for creating little loops which you can then put into a proper sequencer... you really can't go wrong with a micron no matter what though given the price
