Basically yea. I started out with no keyboard and wasn't able to make any good melodies cuz i wasn't used to using a step sequencer and it pissed me off looking at the keyboard on the left all sideways n shit.
Now i got me a 61keys and its soo much easier to translate my ideas. ALso helps if you have know a little about chords and progression, what notes sounds good etc.. heres some nice links to help ya out with notes and chords/scales.

for that one just keep hitting refresh or regenerate on bottom to get a new key

enjoy
