Well it's a bit unkind to call this a "loop workstation", it's more than that....
You can use GURU as a sample playback engine too, and it comes with a really big set of very usable drum samples (electronic and acoustic), each tweekable in so many ways.....
In the end though I DONT do something so simple wiht it, I DO however use it as an extended groove workstation; it's my replacement for Battery AND my replacement for sub-mixing in my DAW. It comes with hundreds of usable loop structures, sounds and effects. I've been using it for about 4 months now and I'm realising that I dont need to route multiple outs from it I can do all my (non-radical) drum processing inside GURU, as well as all my loop tweeking and pattern building. In the end all my drum related work (outside of making drum samples) now happens inside GURU. Given the high quality of sounds included, and the ability to easily config your own kits and add sounds of your own there's little you cant do in here. Its one major limit I can see me coming up against is only 16 sounds in each kit, but even then I can load up multiple kits each in its own groove (with say one playing 16-beat sequence one playing 22-beat seq. at the same time for funky polyridims..). Yeah it sounds really really good, it works really really well, go buy it, you wont regret it.
