Is it possible to connect Roland R* to PC , if it is possible what type of cable i should purchase and what are the benefits of connecting to the PC.
Thanks
Answer I believe the R8 had MIDI so yes... you will have to buy two MIDI cables, plus a MIDI/USB interface (these can be ordered online from any music store such as Sweetwater). M-Audio makes some inexpensive interfaces.
You will also need to have a sequencer program running on the PC... once set up, you will be able to record any drum beats you make, edit them in the sequencer, and play them back. Of course, you can also save them on the PC hard drive.
