If I'm not mistaken the Alesis Sr-16 has a midi out (correct me if I'm wrong.) If it does, then just like with the DJX, just go midi out from the sr-16 to the midi in on your sound card on your computer.

If you want the DJX and the sr-16 hooked up to midi at the same time without having to unplug one to plug in the other, I believe there’re midi interfaces that let's you accomplish this.

So basically if you have the software you mentioned, it just looks like you need a midi interface.

If worst comes to worst, use the DJX for midi and use a software drum machine and use your key boards as the pads (better option in my opinion."

It depends on how may outputs you have. that will determine if you should use a mixer.

Unless you have a soundcard with a bunch of ins, plug all your gear into those and use direct monitoring.
