Read about MIDI

There are several software out there to produce music - Logic, Ableton, FL Studio, Cubase, etc...

as i said in your first thread youll have to read and learn the manual of your synth, its a complicated machine u got there and if your making all your songs in it (its a complete workstation), there has to be some way to save your songs in its machine. READ THE MANUAL, search for save and open etc. Then find out whether it has USB port and if theres any software following the device, i bet it is. Maybe this software allows you to somehow export your saved songs in the synth into the computer as wav, i wouldnt know. If not u can just plug in the audio line out from your synth into your computers line input and then use a simple audio recording software like Garageband(mac) or windows own audio recorder. Read the manual of your synth, i dont think many here owns one as most people here make their music inside the computer. Also to get best soundquality you would need a better soundcard than whats included on a laptop if not the USB (if it has one) works that way i described earlier. Sorry for the terrible explanation but its not any easy way to describe it.

Now if u plan on editing your track inside a computer the subjects changes totaly but it seems that u are making everything in that synths which is what it is for and that u dont plan to edit anything after u have recorded it into the computer.

Read the manual and tell us what your plan is about whether ur only using the computer to record your entire premade tracks from the synth or if your going to make the tracks from the computer and only use the synth as a instrument compared to a workstation as it seems your doing now. god im terrible in writing english haha.

First: read the manual and find out how to save your projects in the workstation.

Second: read the manual about included software and USB if any and how it works.

Third: Connect your synth to a computer with either USB (if it exists, find out in point 2 above), or a normal audio cable.

If there are software and USB on your synth you can probably take backups of your projects over to your computer also, and maybe also edit them. I have no idea
