[comp.music] keyboard and midi

sytam@watserv1.waterloo.edu (Simon Tam) (07/20/90)

today i saw a roland u20 keyboard and i got really interested in perhaps 
purchasing one and doing some programming with midi interfaces.  does anyone
know if the roland u20 is a good keyboard or not?  also there was a roland
midi interface unit for the ibm pc there, is this any good?  what kind of
software is available currently that drives midi keyboards?

i would really appreciate it if someone could give me some info on what a good
keyboard to buy would be and the price range.  i'm really interested in getting
into midi but i need the experts help.

The Roland MIDI interface (MPU-401) is the standard for IBM-PCs.
I have a clone - the MusicQuest MQX PC/MIDI card. Works just fine
for about $100.
