New keyboard!!!

From today onwards, my beats no longer need to be made with FL Studio. I got a new Yamaha MM8 keyboard synthesizer which I'll use as a MIDI controller for Logic Pro, and it makes everything so much easier. Instead of inserting everything note by note I can actually play the stuff I want to play. Yay.

Here's a quick improvisation I did (it's 2AM haha) to test out the keyboard. Enjoy.

Smoothe. loved it. Could you tell me the best way to get music burned to cd from the mm8 ? I'm getting one soon and I'd like to be able to record. Can I just connect to my laptop without music software and burn the music ?.............again, sounds fantastic.

@TheYakkis I used the MM8 as a MIDI controller. This means that instead of producing sounds directly from the keyboard, the keys and controls on the keyboard are used to manipulate the sounds my computer through a digital audio workstation (I'm using Logic Pro). The sounds from the MM8 are not that great so I prefer recording this way.

@barclayberkeley

Why spend 1000 on a midi controller?

[barclayberkeley]

@HowlDono That's only for production. I use the preset sounds for live performances, especially with synths, strings or piano. They sound quite good when hooked up to high quality monitors.

i want to ask i have a mm8 and a roland dr 880 drum kit. I want to know how to connect this 2 device with a midi cable? I want to use my mm8 to play the drum pattern but it seems not work.

i just traded in a motif es 8 for a mm8 best investment i have made in along time when it comes to keys. es was too weighty. this is a powerful board.

Thanks, pinolero. My background is acoustic but through my research and pricing, wound up with a nice used Yamaha mo8. I receive it tomorrow and once I have figured the thing out, will start researching the many DAWs out there. I have read much about ideas on improving sounds by layering, and then there's always the software for better sounds. I have heard that the Cubase 6 program is functional. Thanks and take care.

@tomerikac1 yes it is useless.
