Maybe consider an MP3 player with dictaphone functionality? IRiver Nano is a cheap one, and you just hum or beatbox into it, arrange the resulting mp3 in your sequencer, then replace it with an instrument later.

Nubreed do this as a starting point for all their tracks, and their stuff is quality (but they use an old tape recorder).
yeah, i have been thinking about getting a memorecorder or something, because i hear all these great melodies all the time.

one time, while i was in the shower...i heard a melody in my head. and i knew this 'song' was going to be classic. but i 'lost' it because i couldn't record it....

anyway, yeah i should get a nano or something. ;)
