Hey,
I've been recording for a while now, but so far all with Analog instruments (like guitars). I'd like to start messing around with Digital. I'm not a keyboard player, and I don't have a lot of space, so I don't think I want a big keyboard. I've been thinking about getting a MIDIMAN Oxygen8 MIDI controller (which would fit into my studio set up well). The question is then what to hook it up to? What should I use to get it to make sounds? The MIDI sounds in my PC sound card are a joke (they are REALLY bad). I've been looking at rack mounted synth modules, but I don't know what's good, and they seem pretty pricey. Any suggestions on a good starter module?
The other question would be if there was software that I could use to take a MIDI signal and generate a tone. I'm sure such software exists. What do people suggest?
Help!
Thanks.
