Any recommendations for inexpensive MIDI software, OSX compliant? I just need it for simply sketching out tunes before going to Finale. Don't need audio or zillions of tracks since I'm usually working in a trio or quartet format. Would like to keep it under $100. I've got Cubase 4.1 but its more than I need for this and I don't want to have to boot into OS9 every time.

Would Garage Band work for this?

PS - Finale 2004b, nice upgrade!

Thanks

You might want to look at METRO 6 SE for about $70.00
It is based on a very stable MIDI platform download the demo and give it a try

I'll answer my own question - Cubase SE. $100, great MIDI sequencer, plus 45 audio tracks. Nice!

If your gonna answer your own post, then why bother posting at all...
Metro rocks over cubace.. what a slap... some one needs to delete this post...

I Totally Agree ----METRO is a Great Program----My hat is off to Jeremy and Sagan Technologies
Great support for a FINE FINE FINE product.
