If you need to buy a cheap computer just for the MIDI controller, I 
suggest getting a cheap Atari 520ST. There is a lot of software out
for the ST and its MIDI port.

Why wouldn't you be able to use the Amiga 500? It's multitasking, and
if the foreground stuff isn't too complex, might be able to handle
MIDI as background. 'Course, you would have to buy the MIDI interface
anyway.

I've been using an Atari ST to control my electric piano for almost
a year now, and it works wonderfully. Since Atari has abandoned the
US market, STs and MIDI software can be hand for a nickel and a song,
especially used.
