[comp.sys.mac] Need some MIDI help

monster@athena.mit.edu (David Y Son) (12/09/89)

I'm interested in creating some music using my Mac SE but I'd rather not type
in every single note.  A guy at a software store told me that using a MIDI is
probably the best way.  I understand that MIDI stands for "Musical Instrument
Digital Interface" but that's about all I know.  The salesman also told me that
the interface costs about $100-$200 and that I would also need to get a MIDI
compatible keyboard synthesizer.

Since I'm not an expert at peripherals, I'd appreciate any information you 
could give me concerning MIDI's and what I can do with them.  I'd also be
interested in knowing your recommendations for both a MIDI and a keyboard (and
also a good music program that uses them).
