noob question about synth to sp404

[Retro_addicT]

Hello all,

I just ordered my first 404 and it's on it's way and I wanted to know about using a synth( possibly a microkorg) with the 404..

Could I plug and record synth sounds directly into the 404 onto the pads? if so what cables and whatnot do I need to achieve this?

1/4 Inch To RCA
e.g.: http://www.amazon.com/Hosa-Cable-CPR203 ... B000068O18

or just a guitar lead to record into the mic input

No, the minibrute is mono so you will need the kind of cable i posted but only use one side.

If you have a mixer with a SUB output, you could use that for recording your instruments.
Btw, you're gonna love the microkorg

well I won't need a mixer because I have a pt-01 turntable that I will be sampling from but thanks for your input !

hey you mentioned using a guitar lead to record into the mic input...how is the quality that way opposed to using 1/4 to rca cables ???

[LAZER BEAR]

The quality is exactly the same as far as I'm concerned. I use both methods and I think it sounds great either way.
