A newbies help about analong synthesizers

Post by Yanay So »

Hello all
I purchased a Motu Microbook 1 audio interface a few years ago and now im interested in buying a monophonic analog synth , Moog Slim Phatty in particular , and since im fairly new to all the hardware business I was wondering if I can hook them up together since the only inputs on my Microbook are the stereo Line in (3-4) , the stereo mini jack (3-4) , the microphone input and the guitar input. which one should / can I use with a monophonic synth ?

thanks in advance :D

The line in, normally. Some vintage units will sound better through the guitar in - if so, the bottom end will be fatter. I know this is not a vintage unit but with Moog, I don't know the output impedance. Try it both ways and go with whatever sounds better. You can't hurt anything by checking.
