Ready to start jamming without a DAW? 🎛️ In this video, I walk you through my simple dawless jam setup using the Roland MC101, Korg NTS-1, Korg Volca Keys, Korg Volca FM2, and a Mackie Mix8 mixer. I'll show you how to connect your synths with MIDI, route audio to a mixer, add dreamy reverb effects, and build a smooth ambient synthwave jam.
If you're a beginner looking to dive into ambient music, synthwave, or just want to learn how to connect music hardware for fun, hands-on sessions, this tutorial is for you. 🎶
