 | I've got a Sequential Pro-One Synth and an Alesis HR-16. How the hell do I make the timing the same... I spent an
 hour doing it by ear and failed.  Any suggestions?  Keep in
 mind I'm very low on funds.  Thanks.

 | you need to get a midi retro fit or a CV to midi converter, analogue equipment uses CV (control voltage) and digital
 equipment uses musical instrument digital interface (midi)

 | Why jack away money in the first place on a Sequential and Alesis HR-16 when you can use the PC environment? All that
 hardware is history. Simple answer is don't waste your time
 and money on it.

 | or just improvise as much live as you can manage and record it.  then digitally cut loops out of your recordings.  i
 assume it has some kind of audio out.  then if you ever gig,
 learn those parts or add accompanying parts and perform them
 live.  don't get too addicted to your sequencer.  it will
 eat your music's soul.

 | I make almost all of my music with hardware. It's not history, you just have to come at it in a different way. It
 definitely adds a human feel to it. I think pointing and
 clicking your way to a finished song gets kind of boring,
 and sometimes isn't as fulfilling.

 | i definitely prefer knob-twiddling.. more fun and the pro one kicks ass!  i think the timing problem is the pro one...
 the timing matches for a minute then only slightly
 changes... i can alwaps claim that the timing is off on
 purpose to show man's imperfection  :)

 | Analogue synths still piss on software from a great height, especially for bass sounds and FX...
 I would kill for a Pro One!
 I use my PC a lot these days, but my analogue synths are
 still infinitely more important to my music than any
 software could ever be.
 Seems like everyone's going mad on analog synths again
 nowadays, there was this ultra-hyped PC thing going on a few
 years ago - But I think people have realised there's still
 quite a few things hardware does much better: compression,
 reverb, bass, EQ... pretty important things... and some
 people just get along much better with it.
 I get on best mixing it 50:50
