Which software could i use to use my midi controller keyboard as a live syntheziser??

[Adr]

i want to make pop music with my band and i need to use a midi controller keyboard with a netbook to make my music sound like modern dance pop, but i can't handle fl studio or ableton generators for live synth so, which software is easy, cheap and usefull for my band??

[BeatGenerals]

Reason, Cubase, Reaper, Studio One, Logik, all depends on what works for you and what you consider cheap.

i need it for Windows 7

Some vst's come as standalone running program for mac or windows, search up on some on which style you might like.

I'd go with Reason.

If you want some insider info by some big name that uses Reason the same way as you'd be using it, check this vid:



The 3 different synthesizers in Reason, the combinator and all the other instruments in Reason makes it such an all round generator of sounds you can control with a midi controller keyboard. Reason 6 ain't that expensive either.
I just wouldn't wanna use anything else tbh.

What are the specs of your netbook? Does it have an Atom processor?

The beauty of Reason in that is that it runs on practically every notebook out there, and reliable as well!

There is a difference between a netbook and a notebook.

my netbook is an Exo, 2Gb of ram, 120Gb memory, intel core, Windows XP.. so i must learn some Reason now lol you persuaded me with that about Marilyn Manson, i really like their music haha

I misread netbook for notebook idd. Point still remains that Reason is about one of the DAWs out there the least heavy on your cpu. So if it would be able to handle a DAW, it should be Reason.
What intel core? 2 Gb of ram ain't that much.
I'd say download their demo and see if you can get it to work properly. Make sure to tweak the settings like taking the cpu restriction off and adjusting your sample amount and sample rate to get the least amount of latency. Also get asio drivers for your A/I or asio4all drivers. Other than that, minimizing your instruments and turning off cable animations and such saves on cpu as well. Anyway, that netbook might be something you'd really want to upgrade to a notebook.
