OK gang, my turn to ask a question regarding Midi.

My other half has a Roland EP97 electric piano, which has Midi in and a Midi out ports. I want to hook this beast up to a sound module (I think) and use it as a midi controller to simulate bits of orchestra (Spp Horns and a string section). I don’t mind doing this live as Im going into a Korg DAW.

How do I do this ? Is it as simple as connecting the two units with a couple of Midi cables and running a line from the out put of the sound module to the desk ?

Do I need to use a sequencer?

Who makes sound modules and how much am I going to have to pay?

Is this a hard or an easy thing to do?

I have seen modules by Emu and for between 300-600 USD on line, is this in the ball park.

I don’t want to drop 600 bucks on a bit of kit (that I think I need) only to discover that, having discovered 10 problems that I wasn’t previously aware existed, I need a totally different bit of kit!

Many thinks
