How to Make Music with Your Computer

[jmtd]

I received a Korg Monotron as a gift this holiday. It's fun, though not quite as actually 'useful' as I was hoping. That said, I haven't even plugged it into my Firebox yet or thrown any effects on it. Also the fact that I can run audio through it's filter is very interesting, because that filter screams.

Which one - the base unit, the duo or the delay? I've got the delay. I like playing with it, but I can't see it being useful if/when I actually get something recorded, not least because splicing it into my pipeline will be a real faff, versus using a VST delay instead. On the other hand, I'm too much of a newb to actually use a DAW yet, so perhaps I will.

It was the base one, had it before the duo or delay were released. It's been sitting in the box for some time. Oh well.

Right now I am in love with Maschine. I grabbed a cheap Mikro mk1 off ebay shortly after the mk2's came out. I can stand and turn to this table and barely need to look at the screen or touch the mouse when playing anymore. It's so nice:
