[rec.music.synth] FTP music sites and Software recommendations

ed@iitmax.IIT.EDU (Ed Federmeyer) (12/27/89)

Hi!  I would like to know if there are any anonymous FTP sites that carry
MIDI software for the IBM PC, as well as standard MIDI-format music files.
I have used one: ucsd.edu, and another that I can't seem to connect to:
swan.ulowell.edu. (Does anyone know if this one really works?)  Are there
any others?

Since I just got my MPU-401 MIDI card for Christmas, I was looking through
the back issues of my computer and keyboard magazines, and the number &
types of software packages is bewildering.  I assume there are others in my
position at this time of year, so maybe a discussion (or pointers to an
archive of previous discussions) about some of the better sequencer, music
printiing, librarian, patch creation, and composition sotware would be
good.

I have gotten a few program demo's from the Mostly-MIDI-Mailing-List archive,
but have not found anything really exciting yet.  Any sugesstions?
