Yes, there is MIDI software for the CoCo 3 under OS9 Level two. Here is a
quick rundown:

UltiBox3 - "Ubox3" This is a Shareware "Jukebox" player for "Ultimuse3" Midi
           files. Is available on lots of BBSes as well as Compuserve,
           Delphi, and the CoCo Listserv@pucc
           It does not require any aditional hardware, but a hardware
           Midi Pak can be used
           Well worth what it costs! And a version for the MM/1 _IS_ in the
           works.

UltiMusE3 - This is a comercial Midi score editor/player available from
            Second City Software (Check the Rainbow magazine for ads)
            This is a VERY impressive package.
            Does not require any aditional hardware, but a Midi PAK can
            be used.

MFconv/MFPlay - programs to convert/play Standard Midi Files (SMF) on the
                CoCo (it is a port from Unix source I believe) it is
                PD/Shareware and is available on Delphi, and other BBSes
                It requires the use of a hardware Midi "Pak"

UltiMuse - This is a Shareware version of UltiMusE3. It was released some
           time ago. Not many features, but it works, and can be used to
           edit simple scores.


Welp, that covers what I know of. Note that UltiMusE(3) is the only program
that can be used to actually write/edit music scores. It is probably the
single most impressive piece of software I have ever seen/used on the CoCo3.
