Well now, you've gone and asked a question that if anyone gave a difinitive answer to, it would start a debate that would only confuse you. So here's what I'll tell you. As far as keyboards go, you'll need one with audio outs and midi in out ports. It don't really matter witch one. Only you can answer that question. Go down to the music store and try out ones you feel are in your price range. Get the one you like best.
As far as programs go, it's best to try out demos first before blowing bucks. Something like protools free, downloadable at www.protools.com .
You'll soon find it's a never ending battle. You'll always want more. First it will be a better keyboard, then a better midi interface, better programing. Soon you'll find yourself with more than one keyboard so you'll need a mixer........on and on. Good hunting!!!!!!!!
