mg33 plays a guitar made out of a cigar box.

download the trial version and connect a MIDI keyboard

I'm hoping so. Don't have too much money to spend and just want something at home to get the general ideas out.

you'd be good with it though if you can play guitar
- mg330
Cool, thanks. Never really known how all those gadgets work, I stick to six strings and my throat.
- JazX0
you are basically playing notes and the sequencer records them while you do it, you can slice those notes up anyway you see fit, very much like vector but for music

hehee
ok mg33, yeah essentially you can play a soft snyth that has many virtually instruments and many, many effect units and you can trigger those sounds via a MIDI keyboard. you can change octaves in real-time, etc. yep very versatile dude.

I can play spoons too. RaaAAARRrr.
*Smooch.

dumb question - but you essentially create sounds with software, and each key is a different pitch of those sounds?
Or...each key is whatever you assign to it?
Or both/either/or.

I can play a mean tambourine.

well, it's been said before, but I would get something from M-Audio and then maybe Propellerheads' Reason 3.0 and Ableton Live! to mix it. Up to you and your budget bro.
good luck

JazX,
I don't know too much about that whole electronics realm - but if I were looking to get something simple to use at home for composing stuff, is there anything you could suggest?
Keyboard? Midi controller + software?
- JazX0
I like that analog sounding stuff too mg33

She was real cute. Def had the look.

Haha, Kona, one of my friends said the key to success was getting a hot girl keyboard player, and we'd have it made!

mg33, my buddies band used to have a really good girl keyboardist. Kinda the same music. They are the Assembly. Now I think they got a guy.
Next time I talk to Gary I'll ask what she's doing now. She was really good.

I wish! I'm hoping it won't be a hard search. The interesting part will be going over the 11 songs we have already and adding stuff in.
Then to get to new songs, that should be fun. I've been listening to M83 so much lately and the stuff just blows me away. To do music like that live is sort of what I'm after.
