Hey, I'm trying to connect a synthesizer to an iMac and am not sure what\where to get the connectors I need.

I have a Generation 3 iMac, with 64 MB, running with OS 9.1. I'm looking for a splitter/firewire adapter that will join the midi cables (both
directions) to and from the firewire connector, and finally the
actual midi cables to connect a synthesizer to the system ...

if anyone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

You must have come from PC. biggrin.gif

You need a USB MIDI interface : MIDIMan, MOTU, Ematic..and two MIDI cables.
You also need to install OMS or FreeMIDI to be a traffic cop in the Mac.
Then a music software to make noise.

But 64 MB of RAM!!! blink.gif

rick,

I just want to add that the midi in/out is a much
easier setup in Mac OS X. The CoreAudio
makes it true plug and play.

I am using a USB MidiMate XP, this has the
two midi cables at one end and the USB on the other.
it was $40 from tigerdirect.com
click here to see photos the product

But this product only works in OS X.
M-Audio probably has a product for OS 9.
www.m-audio.com

As far as firewire is concerned, I don't think you
will find to many reasonably priced 16 channel
firewire midi inputs. I mean I only think they exist
on more complicated audio units like the
M-Audio Firewire 410 ($400) or MOTU 828mkII ($800).

Good Luck,
by the way what app are you planning on
using with your midi input?
