Korg ER-1

I just got the Korg ER-1 and I figured out how to work it and all. I am just starting out making beats and such things and I was wondering how in the hell I would hook that thing up to my computer so tHat more shit to the beats that i make on there. I am really uneducated on the whole subject of producing and I am willing to spend the money to get my set up. My friend said that I should just take it back and use the money to get a reason core 1 from carollion usa and a midi controler but the problem with that is I want to be able to play the music that I make live as well as produce records. Someone help me!!!!

if you want my 2 cents...

now that you have learned how to use the ER-1, sell it. it's basically a toy and that money can be used for something else. Just buy Reason 2.5 and learn that. once you hit your limitations on that program, come back with more questions.
since you know how 'step-writing' works- reason should be a piece of cake.

and don't spend all that money on a carillon just to run reason. that program will run on basically anything.

Those carillon pc's are made with the professional producer in mind. They are way too expensive for a beginner, but if you've got the cash go for it. As Merritt was saying, I think you could spend your money a little more wisely starting out.

If I do just get reason then how would I transfer that to live setup. I want to be able to di it at home but still go out and do it live. Do I just need to buy more hardware. I was looking into acually getting a keyboard.

if you want to produce on the computer, while running hardware also...

you need to work with either Cubase(pc) or Logic(mac)....

reason doesn't allow you to integrate hardware.. it's just an all in one program... you can have a midi in for your controller though..

also if you want to perform live... check out Ableton live... it's made mainly for live digital mixing...
