    Before Guru goes suggesting any bespoke kit, let him say this: an iPad (the £339 5th-gen is awesome) could be the only tool you need.

Even GarageBand (Free), on the simpler end, offers up cool instruments and enough tools to take you end-to-end on a track. If you’re planning to playperfect, and the Akai Professional iMPC Pro app (£12.99) apes Akai’s beautiful Music Production Controller hardware brilliantly.
