What kind of cable would I need to be able to plug this in from the headphone jack of my laptop to an amplifier?

Alesis support here! You will just need an aux cable, but there's no absolute answer of the connection type because every amplifier port could be different. Most likely, your computer's headphone jack is a 1/8" connection. You will want to use an aux cable where one side is 1/8" and the other side should have the connection type of an input on the amplifier. If you have any other questions, please feel free to call or email us using the contact information on alesis.com/support.

can you plug this into an amp?

Alesis support here! The Vortex Wireless 2 is a MIDI controller only, but you will be able to connect the computer that it's controlling to the amp of your choice. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me directly at mvieira@inmusicbrands.com.

Can you download/store preset sounds onto the Keytar itself?

Alesis support here! The Vortex Wireless 2 doesn't have any built-in memory and is intended to always be hooked up to a computer or hardware synth. If you have any other questions, please feel free to call or email us using the contact information on alesis.com/support.

What all is included? Cables, strap .etc
