Alright so I've been doing a lot of research on this but can't seem to find the right answer. My band is implementing an analog synth (Roland Juno 106) to our music and a few of our songs now include the juno. We'll be playing gigs in a few months and I was wondering how to use the synth live. Now I don't want to use the juno on stage (because of fear of damaging it during transportation/one of the voice chips crapping out mid-set) but rather send the sends to another keyboard and play that instead. I'm assuming that I'd somehow send the juno sounds to my macbook and then connect my macbook to a midi controller which we'd use on stage. I don't know if this is the right/most efficient method but I'd appreciate if anyone knew how to do this.
Thanks.
