If you don't have US$12k to invest right now to play the Axel Foley´s theme, but have a MIDI Controller, an USB audio card and an Intel Edison, you should try that tutorial (and yes, you can also play some Krafwerk, Van Halen and a lot of other cool stuff with it). Just to give a comparison, the MIDI Synth that is build with this tutorial generates a timbre very similar to one of the timbres generated by the Roland Jupiter 8 Analog Synth, that is being sold for a price around US$ 12k ( here). Usually, a MIDI controller is very inexpensive when compared to a complete synthesizer, but the MIDI controllers requires a PC (or MAC) and a lot of additional software to work. You can learn more about MIDI Controllers here. A MIDI controller is like a computer's keyboard, but instead of sending characters to the computer, it send notes (and a lot of additional information about how the note is being played).
