MOTM

My first suggestion is to avoid typing in all caps; you'll rarely fid 
discussions taking place in all caps.  In the common view of how 
internet communication works, using ALL CAPS is like yelling; it's 
just one of those things.

Second suggestion:

Ask some specific questions, and we'll gladly help.  For mixers, I 
know some folks here (myself included) use a Mackie 1202-series 
mixer.  Just be careful with your levels, I've had my mixer 
misadjusted and for a moment I thought one of my modules was dying, 
as the 'distortion' it created was a bit, er... unusual.

Common patches?  The usual audio signal path for plain jane audio 
stuff is

VCO -> VCF -> VCA

So you'd want your PITCH CV (From your controller or your Midi->CV 
converter) going to the 1V/OCT input on your VCO, and maybe your 
filter, depending on if you want the filter to track your pitch or 
not.  Etc. etc. etc.

Of course, a *lot* of useful information can be found in the MOTM 
manuals, and a lot of interesting books on the basics of analog 
synthesis can be found out there.  Anyone care to chime in with some 
suggestions?

Oh, and on speakers, I'd reccomend actual studio monitors.  That 
being said, you *can* use consumer grade bookshelf speakers, but 
don't come crying to us if you blow a speaker. =]
