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). DS
