Isn't an Alesis just a synth with a Drum Module? Sure a nice Korg Keyboard Synth, or a 303 and a 909 would work. I don't have any of those. I'd prefer to work in all software anyway. Is there a difference from using a hardware synth, or software emulated synth? The hardware synth seems like a lot more work to setup.
