Hi guys I am a "amateur" keyboardsit and pianist, I have been playing for 10 years. I have used mac ALL my life ( not too long , just 18 years old ) ... and I would really like to sync my keyboard with my mac via midi.
U see , I have a midiman audiophile 24/96 in my 800 mhz Powermac g4 Tower. (running panther 10.3.2 , 640 RAM and 2x 40 GB HD) My keyboard equiptment is a Korg Karma , a Roland AX-7 and some midi pedals like beringer fcb1010 I dont have any problems when recording audio... but now I want to buy a sequencer too, my budget is just 150 dollars... Any suggestion on what to buy? |

I think that I will need a better midi interface from what I read in the forums.. M-Audio is really bad with the 10.x.x into midi...
So what do you guys recomend me now? my budget is 150 dollars

The MOTU Fastlane has operated flawlessly for me on a G5 running Panther. It is a 2 in 2 out midi interface.. runs somewhere around $70.

 Early adoptors of the Midiex on mc are STILL waiting for drivers that will make it work properly. In fact I avoid all Steinberg products. -------------------- G-Dub

I like the Emagic MT4 - that's my Midi I/O.
For a sequencer, look at Tracktion. Kind of a queer approach compared to other sequencers, but very usable - now distributed by Mackie, who bundle it with their new Spike Mbox-style USB audio interface. |

If you were running in os9 then Pro Tools Free would be the best option, but seeing u are in panther, PTF is os9 only...
If you wanted a cheap solution, your best bet is to find something on the link that was suggested by Sonne - http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/mac/ Good luck! Oh, and make sure everything is set up correctly in CoreMidi setup in Apple's CoreAudio setup thing. It's pretty easy and self-explanatory. |
