ex-800 noises

2004-07-27 by beatlemyk

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.
-Mike
