You need to read up on MIDI by the sound of it......that is if you want to hook up a synth to a computer. You'd need a MIDI interface, and special MIDI cables to do the job, along with appropriate software, depending on what you want to do. Cubase and Ableton Live are two popular programmes. How a synth works is complex and beyond my capacity to explain in a few words. A synth can be used to play in real time, or as a sample source.
