I have received a few emails on this particular MIDI software package. UltiMusE3
looks like it is miles ahead of all others. By saying 'does not require any
additional hardware' does it work using a standard RS232 card or the bit banger
port? I was always under the impression you required a MIDI interface attached
to a RS232 PAK? Does any one have information as to what is involved in building
a MIDI interface?
