I quite fancy buying a proper synthesiser but ive only got room in my setup for one keyboard, so if the new synth has a midi connection at the back... is there some way i can get that to plug into usb and allow me to use it as i would a midi keyboard?
If so, what extra stuff will i need?
Can a synth also be used as a midi keyboard?

Should be fine, anything that sends 0's, 1's and 1-127's should be able to be used as a controller.

Nice one, cheers for the quick reply.
Do you know what extra hardware is needed?

Other than a midi cable which will probably be provided and obviously something for that cable to go in, mixer, patchbay, pro soundcard etc etc

Re: Can a synth also be used as a midi keyboard?
if it has midi out or even usb, it can be used as a midi controler.
if it has midi out, you will need some (any) sort of midi interface for your computer, be it a soundcard with a midi port, standalone midi interface, midi to usb cable, or something else.
if it has usb, all you need is a usb port on your pc. :]
if the latter sounds cool, check out novation x-station.
