The Alesis SR-16 is a  pretty sophisticated midi sequencer and costs a 
hell of a lot less than
other fully dedicated solutions, especially if you just want to be 
sending sequenced commands to your EDP.

Crap outdated drum sounds (but interesting when run through typical 
modulation and distortion stomp boxes
and also, you can find dedicated 16 bit one rack hardware samplers for 
next to nothing these days if you want
custom sounds to drive.

Alesis also made a  companion unit to their earlier HR-16 drum machine 
called the MM-T8 which was a dedicated 8 track sequencer.
Archaic but no more archaic than the entire Midi language itself.

Here's one that only has $20 bids on it with 2 days left in auction.
