Computer Transfer Of Midi Data... Need To Record It With My Emac!, Power Mac's Pro 4 MIDI data midi out to eMac, want to record it Options

[Cyanaether22]

Hey, I am trying an interesting experiment with my Power Mac 6100/60 and my eMac G4.

Basically, I have a whole bunch of MIDI files generated by Master Tracks Pro 4 from ages ago, these files are on my Power Mac. Unfortunately I don't have a MIDI compatible with my power mac, so what I've done is wired my Power Mac and eMac together using MIDI cables and adapters.

The eMac is receiving the data in its MIDI IN (MIDI Monitor shows this, I can show the logs if necessary), but I need some method of recording this data to a MIDI Recorder or Sequencer program.

What software should I use on my eMac to record this incoming midi data? I've tried a bunch of programs but none of them are what I need. GarageBand was my first idea but it says "MIDI drivers are conflicting" and won't load at all.

Any tips at all would be helpful. Thanks.

If these are really midi files, i.e. the have a .mid file extension, there should be no problem playing them in Quicktiime. If on the other hand they are Master Tracks Pro 4 native format, I would think you would need to save them first as midi files within Master Tracks Pro 4. Once they are in a midi format you can open them with Garageband using Dent Du Midi. What type of external off loading is available from your 6100? Is there something that works on both the 6100 and the eMac? As I recall the eMac doesn't have a floppy. Can you eMail them to a server from the 6100 and then retrieve them with the eMac? Is so, and they are midi, once you have them in the eMac any Mac-based music program should allow you to open them, such as Logic, Pro Tools free, etc. Good luck.
