You can also (if you go to Radio Shack for the proper cable adaptor) do as I
did and hook your synthesizer into the line. input of the Macrecorder mike.
To do this, you will need a "Y" type cable with a single 1/4" jack at one end,
and 2 male RCA phono jacks at the other (if you want to use the cable that comes
with the recorder).  OR you can just get a cable with a 1/4" phone jack at one
end, and a male mini-phone jack at the other to go into the "line" port of the
MacRecorder microphone.

I've done this and put in my renditions of "Born in the USA," J.S. Bach's
Prelude in C Major #1 from Book One of the Well-Tempered Clavier, and
L.V. Beethoven's "Ode to Joy", all from my KORG DW-8000 synthesizer.  It's
a lot of fun!

Try it sometime.
