-------------------------------------------------------------------

I am considering purchasing an ST and hope to do my own programming to
use the MIDI ports.  Can anyone out there in net-land tell me about
using the ST with synthesizers and the like?  I am a musician as well
as a programmer and would probably want to write a lot of my own software
for sequencing, voice editing (specifically Yamaha DX7) and the like.

What is a good language to use?  I assume C is the best, but which one?
Can Megamax C be used with the MIDI ports? 

What about this MacCompatible cartrige that is rumored?  Will Mac MIDI
software run with the ST?

As you can tell by now, I know very little ST programming (I have an old
atari 800) but I would like to get into doing music with the ST.
The ST is the best machine for me since I would want to get MT "C" Shell
as well (I'm also a UNIX hack).

If anybody knows anything about ST MIDI software, I would appreciate any
responses either over the net, or by e-mail.

Thanks much,
