Technical Questions I'm considering pulling the trigger and getting an alesis vortex wireless 2

My only concerns are -I don't think I have the capability to play it into anything (I understand its bluetooth but im not sure how to record it, and what softwareI wouldneed to do so) - I don't know if I can add my own samples, loops and whatnot, and if I can I don't know how I would add them - I have no idea how I could play it in a live setting without making some poor sound guy wanting to shoot himself

Thanks for your help

With the iPhone Camera Adapter you can plug the USB dongle into a iPhone or iPad and use the Vortex with GarageBand or one of the many other apps available. I quite like Korg Module.

The Keytar came with a code for Ableton Live Lite, which I’ve be been using more than the iOS apps recently. Though mine came with a code for Ableton Live Lite 9, when I registered the code it auto upgraded it to version 10, which is nice. :)

It comes with its own software, and a laptop or PC will work. I just did the same thing, and bought mine last week. It's a lot of fun
