It's all right, haha :P
I don't use any controllers, actually, I just use FL Studio 10. The Producer edition (ie. the Full Edition)- although as far as I'm aware, the only thing restrictive of the Trial version is that you can't OPEN projects you've saved, so you have to leave it open for days, or do it all in one sitting, which is a bit annoying.
I just use samples and mainly the default synths, and input notes by the mouse-click. In terms of beats/percussion.. well, it's the same. I looks for drum samples online, and make beats by the mouse-click. (That's fun to say :P).
