As Diki says Alberton Live is a great program,
http://www.ableton.com however there is also the stalwart Cubase,
http://www.steinberg.net/en/home.html and if you have a Mac, Logic.
http://www.apple.com/logicstudio/ If you are looking for arranger software then there is OMB
http://www.1manband.nl/omb.htm Livestyler
http://www.live-styler.de/home/ and vAarranger
http://www.varranger.fr/ If you’re looking for high quality software instruments (VST etc.) then try Komplete 6
http://www.native-instruments.com/#/en/products/producer/komplete-6/ Kore 2 (With or without hardware controller)
http://www.native-instruments.com/#/en/products/producer/kore-2/ and Goliath
http://www.eastwestsamples.com/details.php?cd_index=1071 A good resource for the above is
http://www.synthzone.com/ and for VST also add
http://www.kvraudio.com/ There also many modules of Workstations, and players (Ketron
http://www.ketron.it/home/index.asp offer good value on the latter)
Enjoy investigating
