Get a decent midi controller, that has a bit of everything (keys, knobs, pads) and a package like Reason or Fruity Loops. That would be a good start.

Hi Nick... yeah something like reason'll get you off to a good start all-in-one, but you need a decent asio soundcard or plug-in asio sound device (usb or firewire) otherwise you cant play the s/w synths and drums etc in realtime

or you get a standard sequencer and add free and other vsti synths, if you didnt get the soundcard yet, most of them now come with a sequencer s/w for free, so mebbe get like cubase se or whatever free with the soundcard and use vst instruments, some of the free ones are fantastic btw and there's thousands to choose from if you want to pay, from cheap to expensive

the other option is to go hardware, thats more complicated in many ways..
