This year I picked up an Akai S20 sampler and have been using it to make beats. It uses 1.44MB floppies for storage, and this limitation really forces you to make decisions and stop wasting time.

FYI (or others using retro equipment with floppy disks) there's a cheap floppy disk emulator called Gotek that can be connected in place of your 3.5" drive and has an USB connector where you can put a thumb drive with disk images. For that device there's an Open Source firmware project called FlashFloppy [0] that enhances its features. And I've found today that there's an Open Hardware reimplementation [1] of the Gotek hardware that's compatible with the FlashFloppy Firmware. 0: https://github.com/keirf/flashfloppy 1: https://github.com/SukkoPera/OpenFlops
