Hi,

I'm a retired computer tech, but I'm a MIDI / Music Software non-power user (sorry).

I have BIAB 10 and RealBand, and Pro Audio which I have been using for a few years to play songs that I have entered.

Is there any way I can use one or all of the programs that I've listed to drive an Alesis HR-16 to play the drums from the HR-16 through an amp?

In other words, have the computer control the HR-16 which is plugged into an amp.

The purpose would be for drums to play an instrument along with for practice. I know I can use BIAB etc. through an amp, but the HR-16 has different sounds.

If it can be done, what equipment would I need to procure (interface, etc.) and how would I tell the program to control the HR-16?

Thanks in advance.
