    I have bought my daughter a Axiom 25 for her xmas and i am now looking to buy software for her Pc. She is 13 plays the piano well and also the guitar, I am looking for something not too hard to set up and use because im scared if the programme is to complicated she will loose interest fast. I have looked at videos of Ableton but looks too advanced and too exspensive. Fruity Loops is another i have seen. Is there any free stuff out there to get her going before i splash out on something that she may never use? Thanks

    Native Instruments do a product called SampleTank which is good.
    It's purely a sample player (not a full blown DAW) and has a simple interface.
    There's a free demo available that only limited by the amount of sampled instruments. There's a piano, organ etc. as part of the demo which is what I use with my Axiom.
    It's a good, cheap!!, way for her to dip her toes in the water.
