hey guys like many of my friends ive been making music on a laptop, and its been fun but ive been getting to into it to just keep using VSTis and crap synths. i dont know shit about analog equipment, and i know i wont really benefit by reading a Roland synth manual, unless i chain myself down and discipline myself enough to read it. but honestly, i was looking at something like this handmade sequencer synth, i was wondering- can i use an Edirol PCR 30 and convert the usb output to Midi, then to the input on that synth? so i can sync Ableton live with the synth and the Edirol, so i can use the Edirol for the synth and for the parameters and drums in ableton? please some help is wanted. sorry for the analog n00byness, |

That synth only has analog clock in so you'd have to use a midi to control voltage unit of some kind to sync it with a computer, and you couldn't directly "play" it from a keyboard or a computer. But, it is a Peruvian electronic noise sequencer synth nonetheless and the coolest piece of music technology I've seen lately. Damn. |

so what keyboard could i use to control it then? and could it be polyphonic? and lastly, there would be no Clock-syncing problems with using it with Ableton live? http://www.analoguehaven.com/doepfer/mcv4/ |

you don't really need to spend a lot of money on hardware like that... if you're imaginative you can make amazing music using just a crappy 486 pc, making good music is a lot more about using what's in front of you well than fixating on something you don't own and thinking it will solve all your problems. if you have problems that is. i get by perfectly well with a 5 year old toshiba pc and a copy of renoise, i got skills so its not a problem for me to have a limited setup. |

You went from 'amazing music', to 'good music' and then 'I get by'. |

You really answered his question there. |

You don't need to use a computer to play that synth, it has a sequencer. You could do what you want with your ableton, but it might end up being cheaper with better results using some other kind of analogue synthesizer with midi input, like an evolver or an mfb synth II. |

but how do you hook up a keyboard to trigger/play the notes? i never figured that out yet. |
||||||||

You cannot do that with this synth. This is not the droid you are looking for. |

gawd if you want one of those "synths" I could build you one for £50. not sure if the case would be as cool, but it would function exactly the same. |
||||||||

that would awesome and totally amazing man if you decide to do so let me know and ill pay good money for it if you do some custom/cool shit to it. right now im looking at the Roland Juno 106. looks pretty damn cool, and i just played one at a guitar center, well actually a Juno 60 but do they soound that different? |

hahahah guitar center is funny |

quick guide for safe synth use: use only the white crystals. yellow crystals are unpure. don't snort but smoke in glass pipe or inject intravenously (mix with spring water and salt). eat only fruit that day, have a sitter present and go. |
