Hi, I'm real newbie in producing, but I have now Reason and Cubase! And now I wanna to buy also this:

Novation Supernova 2
Access Virus kC
Roland JP-8080

What do I have to buy until I can use it at my computer? I've searched the site already.. Do I maby have to buy a midi patchbay or something else to connect it with my pc?

buy a m audio delta 1010 which will allow you to connect pretty much any midi device to you computer with a very low latency which is best. however if you are going to buy a virus just get the rack mounts of the hardware you want and purchase a midi controller that is atleast 61key. this will allow you to controll the rack mounted synths and vsti synths that you can use in cubase. also if you really wanna get into it buy a powercore for your vstis and youll have ever better luck.

good 61 key midi is a M - audio Radium 61 key I love mine
Dj Reumers
So if I understand it good, I first have to buy me a 61 key midi controller, and then I can connect these 3 synths, isn't it? Or is there still something else that I have to buy?

Thanks a lot for the help!
DJ-Igloo
ya get a midi controler and work in program like reason with the synths provied there and even work with cubase with vstis then move synths later on once u get the hang of everything else
Dj Reumers
Ok thanks m8, I think I understand now :)

You're gonna overwhelm yourself buying all those synths first off. Get producing, then think about spending.
Subtle
ehm.. I reckon u are new in producing as well?

well, my advice is.. to skip those plans og buying all those synths and stuff.. stick with Cubase and/or Reason.. for a while first.. to learn something about track building and arranging... if u cant handle the synths in Reason or/and Cubase.. u will certainly not handle any Hardware synths...

u will probably only be stuck with your gear..

good luck.. and all the best ;)

I beg to differ
You'll program a hw synth much quicker and easier with a synth with dedicated knobs and buttons instead of a mouse..
fr0st is right, don't buy all 3.. go for the kC or sn2 or waldorf q or nord lead. JP gets outdated, compare the specs and download some sounddemo's
Those are about the most popular va's atm
