David "fingers" Haynes -- Toontrack + Korg nanoPAD -- but what else do i need?

[ac3320]

I was watching a video on youtube the other day featuring a guy playing an Alleva Coppolo bass and i saw David "fingers" Haynes playing like some midi drum machine.

I would like one of these to have fun with at home. I think that plus a looper could really allow me "solo" over my basslines to kind of, well, get better at bass!

I checked the toontrack website, and there are like fifty different software packages. Which one would be the best? I like mostly R&B/rock/pop/funk. Don't care about metal. Do i have to buy like three different software packages?

Also, could i just buy the nanoPAD and some software and then run a cord from my computer to my amp (balanced in) to be able to *play* both at the same time? Is that all i need? Or will there be latency issues?

Thanks all,
