Default Re: What will a MIDI keyboard/controller do for me

I know enough about MIDI to program my own grooves with the mouse but my question is this: What will a keyboard/controller do that I cant do with the mouse for drums or even any other instrument samples.
It's entirely possible to get the exact same results by programming with a mouse as it is with a controller. Of course, it would take a week to program a piano part EXACTLY like a human would actually play it (with all proper timing and velocity variations).

I would love to have a Vdrum kit and have my buddy who has been through the big producer drum boot camp play everything. It would save me 5-10 hours of programming per song.

I don't like doing drums on midi controllers (that look like pianos). This is just my preference. Some people have no problem with it. I do prefer to play piano and synth on the controller.
