I am completely new on this board, so bear with me if I ask some really
silly questions at first...

I would like to get into the computer music thing, but I don't quite know where
to start.  I have a Macintosh IIsi, so I imagine I have the computer side of it
sorted.  I would like to know about good MIDI interfaces, synths (preferably
black box w/ separate keyboard, but any info is good), and software.

I saw what appeared to be a smart looking beginner's system from Roland for
IBM PS/2's.  It consisted of a separate keyboard and synth board, with a
sequencer/8track mixer software package.  It seemed OK, but it may be something
I should stay away from, if I'm at all serious about this...

Anyhow, help me get started, so I can get some of these tunes out of my head...

Thanks!
