I haven't been on this tread in a while, but here is an update.

For my sequencing software, I am using Reason. I do not really like it. It looks too amateur. Plus I cannot figure out how to take a wave file and spread it through the pitches of the keys on my keyboard. I am thinking of switching to M-audio Ableton Live. I find it difficult to see myself making any kind of music that could be used in the industry with such a limited library of sounds that have probably been used many times in other songs. Even with all the virtual racks that can edit the sounds, I do not see that much freedom in the program.

For my keyboard, I have an M-audio Axiom 25. I like this, but I still have not learned how to program the knobs and pads to do what I want. I have m-audio's software Enigma, but I have not figured it out. However, the keys on the keyboard feel very nice.

This keyboard is pluges into my M-audio Delta 1010 via MIDI, which I have yet to take advantage of with the controllable knobs, zones, groups, pads, etc.

I am also thinking of picking up a USB turntable. I think Numark makes one and some other company that starts with an "O." I forget.

This way I am able to sample music as well as keep vinyl for further recreational listening.

I am a bit interested in "16 levels" used in hip-hop songs.

Right now I am a bit flusterd as my MIDI connection has seemed to have taken a shit. The light of a MIDI in signal is not working on the 1010, so I think I may have a settings problem.

I hope.
