I am a relatively new Amiga owner and have a perhaps naive question
about MIDI.  I would like to connect my vanilla 2000 (with 1 Meg and
two floppies) to a Technics PX-20 digital piano (PCM digitally sampled,
not synthesized).  The kind of things I want to do are record from the
keyboard, play back from disk through the piano, and do simple score
editing.  Nothing particularly sophisticated (I don't think we will be
heavily involved in composition for the time being).  I realize I need
a MIDI interface board and cables.  Is there any other hardware I
need?  Do I need driver software specific to the PX-20?  Is there any
useful PD software in this realm?  Thanks.
