+1 on the little Axiom, I think if you're going to spend any money for hardware at all you should start with one of these as a 25-key controller will always have a home in your rig and I've seen them for well under $100 on eBay. It's just much easier to press piano keys/hit drum pads/fiddle with knobs and sliders than endless mouse gestures.

Most definatly! I've always been a knobs and buttons person and vastly prefer having the hands on control of an external controller. Especially when it comes to real time manipulation of sounds (tweaking the knobs and sliders), the mouse is a far inferior tool.

On a side note, I'm getting a Roland 505 groovebox next week, followed by a new Dell XPS laptop for music production, probably with a Novation NIO soundcard to interface it all. WEEEEEE!!!!
