Hey there. I'm totally new to the art of digital noise and I was
hoping someone could help me out. I've been a musician most of the
20 years of my life, mainly on guitar. I came across a Korg ex-800
in a thrift store for $20. I don't have a keyboard with midi
capabilities, but I figured there must be some way for me to make
noise using this thing. If I couldn't, then I figured I could
probably make my $20 back on eBay. So, I purchased it, brought it
home, and plugged it in. It appears to be in working order; the
display lights up and the buttons to change the program, parameter,
and value all seem to work. Setting the parameters and values is
pretty self explanatory, but beyond that I'm clueless. Any ideas
how I can get some noise out of this thing, using tapes or
whatever? Is there a way?
Thanks for reading and double thanks for any suggestions.
