Any suggestion is welcome.

I agree with michael, the efx1000 is all you need, imho its the best effects unit.
to me its like a third deck, i use it primarily as a mixing tool for sampling and cutting up beats although the other features are quality also.
Ive previously owned a kaoss pad 2 which is like a toy in comparison.
Ive also used a Roland sp-404 which has certain features that better the efx1000 (the pitch echo thingy for example) but overall isnt as good-a package (for me anyway).
Aswell as these ive owned and used various guitar pedals, of which some are superb and others dissapointing.
The Efx1000 is expensive but i reckon its worth it. Check out some James Zabelia videos on youtube. I also reckon that the efx1000 is well suited to the stripped back techno/house sound (flanger aside).
Just my opinion... thousands will disagree!

The laptop + Ableton option is decent as an outboard effects unit, but for that much money you can get a used Eventide, Lexicon or TC Electronics outboard that will blow the doors off Ableton's built in "dry sounding" effects.
The DP4+ is a classic processor but it's getting hard to find them in 100% working condition. When you do find one it's usually quite noisy and several things don't work on it. Mine broke and I was quoted at several hundred dollars to repair it (more than a new one cost at the time) so I sold it as parts several years ago.
I personally use the Boss SE-70. It's a little half-rack sized thing from the 90s that absolutely smokes with a nice gritty sound. It used to be my all-around effects unit behind the DP4+ but after using it exclusively I honestly think it's a better unit than the Ensoniq. I'd never sell it.
