[comp.music] IBM-PC Midi Setups

    I recently parted with my Amiga 500 which I used as the computer for
my MIDI equipment.  I now have a 386/25 PC clone which I would like to
outfit so I can go back to writing and sequencing.  What I'd like is
some opinions and prices (if possible) for the following software and
hardware to do this:

	1-  MIDI Interface (preferably one which is just the interface
		and nothing else.  But if anyone can give me info on
		cards like Soundblaster with their MIDI interface,
		I'd appreciate that too)
	2-  Sequencing software.  I had Dr. T's KCS Level II for the
		Amiga and like it a great deal.  Mainly I want about
		the same features (TRACK editting,recording; Graphical
		Editor, some sort of scoring (not necessary but nice),
		and hopefully a Algorithmic music generator (I think
		DR. T's was called PVG or something like that)).
		What options am I faced with here.
	3-  Editor/Librarian for an Yamaha SY22.  This is essential to
		have, but I thought that perhaps I might get one if
		one is available and the price is right.

Anyone help, price listings and opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Butch
