Anyway, a good friend of mine just purchased a 386sx and his son is fairly talented with a keyboard (don't know the brand, perhaps Korg?) that has a midi interface. He would like to know what suggestions you all have in the way of interface cards for the PC (Manufacturer, model number, approx price and best source) to allow him to use the computer as a "sequencer" (?) and what some suggested software packages are that will allow him to play various tracks on the keyboard and "write" the music score/play the music score on the computer/printer. Sorry if this sounds like a general question that gets asked over and over again; if all this appears in a known textbook, then direction appreciated. If this will take up too much bandwith on this feed, then E-mail replies appreciated rather than a posting on this newsfeed, although I will monitor the headers for the next couple of weeks for replies. Thanks in advance.
