one of the major advantages of using VST instruments is their sample accurate timing when you use them inside a hostsequencer.
The minute you trigger them over MIDI from an external sequencer you will loose this great feature and will suffer from the sloppy timing of serial data transfer that MIDI is based upon.
Thats probably the exact same reason why the timing of the MPC is so great when it triggers its internal samples-there is no MIDI involved!
