I'm absolutely new to this so forgive me for going over old ground.
I've just bought a midiman 2x2 interface to hook my Yamaha P200 electric piano up to my G4 TiBook. I downloaded Pro Tools FREE as something to get started playing on and after a couple of hours I started to understand the basic functions of recording, playback, etc.. What has disappointed me is the quality of my mac's built-in GM sounds  they're awful! I know I can use my P200's piano sounds for midi playback, but what if I want realistic sounding drumkit, saxophone, and digeridoo all playing at the same time!?I've read various web info and I think I need either a hardware expander or a soft synth, but I don't really know where to start. Software sounds a better choice for me as I might be able to try out a few demos rather than buying the wrong piece of hardware! What I want to do at the moment is be able to write multi-track music and listen to a more realistic playback than my mac's midi sounds currently give me. any help appreciated. paul |

I understand what you are saying... unfortunately, without investing some $$$ in software... I don't see this being possible but I may be wrong. Good luck.
