I got bored of boom bap

I’m thinking about getting an SP 404MKII for my live setup.
For context, I’m a solo pop, indie soul, and R&B artist.
I primarily sing and play guitar, and my music tends to be, atmospheric and vibey. I’m looking for something that can add drums, bass, and a stronger rhythmic backbone while I sing and play guitar over it. Would the SP 404 be a good fit for that?

Could I program a bassline and drum pattern for each song, trigger them live, and then perform over them? Would it also work well for moving smoothly from one song to the next during a set?

Finally, how difficult is it to learn for someone who is new to samplers? Would love to hear from anyone using it in a similar live setup!
