your best bet is some 37 key or even keyless synthesizer. Korg has many to choose from.
I understand you want to make noise not music, well then you can buy chains saw - very good analogue sound. 

Not original enough ... FAUST has already done that ... AND at various speeds, too, so it gets weirder and then stolen in a few film soundtracks!

its just pedro being, well, pedro

And as far as your post ... not a single person really interested in even saying they did not like their ________ keyboard! Or whatever. I guess that only Julibee has any comments that are nice and helpful, while everyone else is only interested in Bapu'ing the thread!
 
It's the Coffee House after all! So, lots of insolence is expected!

Hi,

Thx a terrific bunch Julibee ... awesome ... and great ... just like your voice!

I do have an Oxygen 61, and software. Pretty much playing around with it, and just having some issues doing more than just the simple stuff ... like take one of their presets and change the knob a bit here and there and such ...

One of the things that I had hoped that Craig would help me with (he never replied to the email or phone!) was how to use the sequencer and the Midi, so I could do a bit more ... for example ... on the Miroslav software, I can not use two different sounds together ... they play separetely, and I can not tell why, if this is a Midi setup issue, or simply an advanced function in Miroslav ... the mouse option for the change of the midi channel on the different voices and choices, will not change the numbers.

I don't know if this is too advanced, or not. I do know, and thus part of my cynicism, that for all the stuff that folks know, they are probably like me ... they don't know ... I just click this and that ... and I'm actually ok with that ... I'm EXACTLY the same way ...

Using/learning how to use a sequencer is what I need help with ... or at least learning to create a sound (no problem there) and allow it to extend ... which I am having a hard time with ...

I keep thinking that a small piece of hardware at this moment might be easier than the software stuff, since midi and the interconnectivity in many of these things is a hassle for many ... and Ed, as much as he might nknow, probably does not have the time to share a few moments of training.

All in all, I did not have a good experience with Abelton at all, and MC5 was buggy for me ... so I am not sure what I want to work with right now ... my whole setup, including midi board is setup pretty much like a radio station ... that I can record on a 2nd computer! And I'm having fun with it ... though I am wanting to add more of my own design and music as time goes by so I can do poetry and other things over it and with it ... which is the reason why I wanted to learn the Jupiter and the Miroslav a bit better through the Midi board ... Miroslav has great sounds, but so far I can only use one at  a time and their support has been miserable!

I don't know anything about Miroslav, but make sure your "voice" preset OS a polyphonic one.  Some are simply monophonic, and thus, one note at a time.

"Allow it to extend"... Meaning, hold the note longer than your keystroke?

Key things in any (or most) soft synths:

A- Attack
D- Decay
S- Sustain
R- Release

If you want a longer note, adjust sustain and release to suit.
