With MTVMG2 it can take a bit to get used to too when you are used to horizontal scrolling and controls from Music 2000, but otherwise it goes as fast as music 2000. Now I use MTVMG2 instead of Music 2000 and I can still make better songs in the same amount of time I did with Music 2000 (4-6 hours a song) even only after 2 weeks of use)

Although you're not likely to find anything with the ease-of-use and usability of the Generator, there are plenty of audio sequencing applications out there.  I know because I've spent a lot of time looking for something, myself.

Besides the above-mentioned Fruity Loops, here are a couple of other pay-to-play apps:
--Cakewalk Sonar - http://www.cakewalk.com/Products/HomeStudio/default.asp - like FL, it's a bit on the difficult side but has many capabilities.
--Tracktion 3 - http://www.mackie.com/products/tracktion3/ - more simplistic than most $200 apps, which makes it easier to use, but also fully featured.

On the Freeware side, you'll find apps with less features than their expensive counterparts, though they still may not be as easy to use as (nor as pretty looking as) the Generator.
--Anvil - http://www.anvilstudio.com/ - with MIDI samples, it's nearly unlimited, but you can only work with a single, one-minute long, imported sample.  There's a $19 optional plug-in that will allow you to work with up to 8, sixty-minute long imported samples, though.
--MODplug - http://pweb.jps.net/~olivierl/ - ugly as hell but lots of features (for a free app).
--OpenSebJ - http://www.evolvingsoftware.com/ -  again, ugly as hell, but some parts of it work in a (fairly) similar fashion to the Generator.

Well, those are all I know of, offhand.  If I find any more, I'll update this list.

you can always burn wav samples on CD and import them into Music 2000. However, sound memory is limited so for this I would either recommend MTVMG2 or Music 3000 (the later is less limited in memory terms but sound reverb is shit compared to MTVMG2, it's even worse than the PC version of Music 2000/02)
