The strengh is the customized Software.
Imagine that you can resample and sample with a press of a physical button. Copy paste without touching the mouse...
Lean Back and make music instead of starring at small fonts on teh screen.
Imagine...
You play a Synth with Echos and Reverb and sample it. After slicing you have 100% control ofe ach Echo hit
or the length of a massive Hall without worrying about automation or mud. (drawback most is unique, advantage creative flow)
Currently most Producer I know use Audio Tracks, and they bounce in place. BUT they also have to play rewind play rewind play rewind.....
With a Sampler you can just hit a pad until it matches 
I hope that they desiged the Software Part so that you do not have multiple windows and rather one active window which you can open/close with dedicated knobs on the controller.
Once get used to the "physical" positions of the knobs ,
its like playing piano, your hands just know what to do.
For me , as a long time MV8000 user , it would very interesting if it would (hopefully will) combine best of both worlds:
Usability of Dedicated hardware (not all hardware is really a joy to use, eg MicroQ's Dials suxx) and the Speed of a Computer.
We will see, I am going to try it... 
Hopefully they have used some High Quality Dials and not such Chep form the Akai Z8

for me the most instering thing is the sound, it can sound like old mpcs , for software i have to read more about it to really get the avantage of it vs workflow in a computer.
