[comp.music] IBM/Midi inteerface and soft

appel@cui.unige.ch (APPEL Ron) (08/16/90)

Can anyone tell me what's the best MIDI interface for IBM compatible
computers (AST-386SX) and what's the best software for sequencing,
editing and/or printing scores?

Thanks for any informations.

The most popular PC/MIDI setup seems to be CakeWalk 3.0 with an MPU-401
compatable MIDI card. That's what I have (MusicQuest PC/MIDI card)
and it works just fine.

	I will second the vote here for both CakeWalk and the MusicQuest
	PC/MIDI card.  The MusicQuest card is inexpensive and works find.
	In fact it is the only card I can use on my systems.  One system
	is a Tandy 1000 and the other system has a SCSI disk at port 330H
	which is the normal port for the MPU-401.  The MusicQuest card
	lets you change the port to 300H.

	Hopefully some good Windows 3.0 based Midi software will be coming
	out soon...
