Hello I would like to recieve some orientation or help in how to create a machine like the Roland MC-505, check at ebay.com search for mc 505, check the machine its awesome. I have one and Im studing electronics, but as I am starting I dont have the idea of what in the heck this machine has inside of it. Could anybody post any URLs or web pages to visit and have a bit of idea. Im willing to learn how to create a machine like the one mentioned above.

Thank you, I will be around this week posting and reading.
