Ableton will do that, live 7 has drum racks, which basically are set up like MPC pads, all you need is something like a PadKontrol or Triggerfinger.

You don't have to just use drums in them either, i use them for chopped melodic samples quite a lot.

Although you can get MPC500s for under 300 pounds which might be cheaper than getting a load of software and midi controllers and stuff.

dont buy a mpc500.. the whole point of the MPC is the fact that it has 16 pads and is primarily used for 4/4 music production. MPC500 has 12 pads.
