------------------------------------------------------------------- I am considering purchasing an ST and hope to do my own programming to use the MIDI ports. Can anyone out there in net-land tell me about using the ST with synthesizers and the like? I am a musician as well as a programmer and would probably want to write a lot of my own software for sequencing, voice editing (specifically Yamaha DX7) and the like. What is a good language to use? I assume C is the best, but which one? Can Megamax C be used with the MIDI ports? What about this MacCompatible cartrige that is rumored? Will Mac MIDI software run with the ST? As you can tell by now, I know very little ST programming (I have an old atari 800) but I would like to get into doing music with the ST. The ST is the best machine for me since I would want to get MT "C" Shell as well (I'm also a UNIX hack). If anybody knows anything about ST MIDI software, I would appreciate any responses either over the net, or by e-mail. Thanks much, Mark Milbourne CPO 1855 Wheaton College Wheaton IL, 60187 (USA)
