Ok, for those that may be interested, I'll enlighten you as to what I have/what I use to make my music.

What I have:
Hardware-
Casio CTK-800 5 octave MIDI keyboard
M-Audio Oxygen8 v2 2 octave MIDI controller keyboard
RP-50 Guitar effects processor
Delay pedal

Programs-
Fl Studio (8.5 BETA)
Finale Notepad 2008
Audacity
MilkyTracker
Ableton Live Light 6

VST/VSTi's-
3xOsc
Sytrus
SynPlant
Mini DiZi
String Theory

The rest is samples and soundfonts.

I got the M-Audio MIDI controller today, and I'm having fun figuring that out. I was looking through some really neat hardware/software stuffs at the music shop today, and the guy showing me around let me toy around with this monster. $1,200 AU, slightly out of my price range at the moment, but it's a slicker, more professional DAW than FL, and from what what I noticed, it had a decent sample library, and did a lot of the stuff that FL does in a slightly different manner. And it comes with its own hardware, which looks and feels so sexy. Definitely on my wishlist. I was also recommended this, which also looks pretty cool.
I was looking at upgrading my DAW from FL to Reason, but Maschine is just so damn beautiful.

Feel free to ask questions, if you have any, that is...
