On the Internet, you can find a huge number of articles that describe how to connect the guitar to the rest of the equipment. And if a person, for example, is not a guitarist, but a keyboard player? So why should he not sign up now? But no! You can connect almost everything to almost everything. Let's touch on this sensitive topic and tell you how to connect a synthesizer to a computer and more.
Instructions
Step 1
In fact, everything is really simple. We do not need any complex knowledge of technology and electronics. In order to connect the synthesizer to a computer, you can use one of the options - direct or indirect.
Step 2
The direct route is the easiest and fastest. This kind of connection requires the cord that guitarists usually use to connect their instrument to a speaker. Usually on the back of the synthesizer, next to the socket for the power supply, there is a port for connecting a cable. We connect one end of this cord to the keys, and the other end to the computer. It should be noted that the jack of this cable is much larger than the jack on the sound card.
Step 3
In order for such an embarrassment not to interfere with further work, an adapter from a large jack to a small one was specially developed. And with the help of this adapter, the cable will easily and easily fit into the socket of the computer.
Step 4
It should also be noted that the sound card has several receiving ports. There are at least two of them. Green and pink. The green port is designed to output audio information, or, in simple terms, speakers are connected to it. The pink port is designed to enter information of this type, or, more simply, a microphone is connected there.
Step 5
This is exactly what we need. We connect the cable with an adapter to the microphone port of the computer. We adjust the audibility of the microphone on the computer, and you can record. Just keep in mind that the sound will not be recorded just like that. This requires certain programs. Typically used by the likes of FL Studio or Sony Sound Forge. These programs make it easy and convenient to edit recorded files and save them in a format convenient for us.
Step 6
It was a straightforward way. Now consider the mediocre. In principle, it differs from the direct one only in that a mixing console also appears between the computer and the synthesizer. It allows you to adjust the volume, switch channels, if there are several instruments, and can do a lot more. But this is not for everybody.
