NES-Nintendo Entertainment System

hi there, i've seen and heard a few artists use a NES to make there music, and i want to try this out too.

i have no idea how to set this up, so all i've got to go is a NES system and that all, my request is, how and what do i need to play this, etc... cables software.

when i finaly get it done does it come to be a coverter for sounds, etc...do i make a melody using a software tool like minimoog then somehow play it threw this machine then back to the computer, or do i use the NES like emulation(which i have no clue how to do), or what, drum machine?

also maybe i can do this with the Super NES

thanks

I use a MIDINes myself. You can check out the first song I did with it here - April 05, used for my senior recital.

Yes, a MIDINes kit is the way to go!
