Thanks, that helped a lot. So, the Micron is better in some ways than others. The keyboard I have now will get by and if I consider getting a new keyboard, I will. But, now I know what to get.
 
I don't know if you are familiar with the program Reason, but it is a soft synth that has drums, synth modules and many other useful effects etc. If you had this program on your computer you could hook up your keyboard via MIDI and control the sounds that way. You would not be recording any audio from your keyboard, just the information to play the notes. Basically you can use you current keyboard to control a virtually limitless amount of sounds of all different kinds (including bass guitar). My favorite part of MIDI is the fact that once you record the MIDI data you can still change the sounds to your liking. Additionally you can change individual notes and placement of those notes. I just used Reason as an example because that is what I am familiar with. There are plenty of soft synths to choose from.
 
I've never used reason. Does Cubase LE 4 (possibly upgrading) have a strong enough MIDI control that I won't have to buy anything else? I am going to get EZDrummer with the DKH plugin.
 
aaahhhh the Micron.. I dig it.. Cool keyboard, but I wish I'd saved the money towards a $1,000 analog synth. The differnce is significant. Maybe a moog, virus, or Dave Smith. Ya, analog synths are more expensive, but they're way more pro.

Regardless the synth it pretty rad.. I've learned to do lots with it.

this guy inspired me a ton.. still not as good as him, but I can make it sound like a few people are playing together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8Kiw4aoex4
 
does anyone know of a third party Micron controlling plugin? or software? I'd like to alter the patches and mayeb even automate some things on the Micron fromt he computer. I'm on pro tools 8 which I know would be one of the more less likely programs to have something for a midi instrument like this.
