Someone recently asked about MIDI interfaces for the Mac.  While I know
virtually nothing about the topic, I did pick up literature on the following
products at the MacWorld Mac Expo last August:

 1.  MacMIDI from  MusicWorks "State of the Art for the Artist"
                   18 Haviland
                   Boston, MA  02115
                   (617) 266-2886

 
     Multiple products with prices ranging from $80 to $350.  Their 'special'
     packages are/were $285 (includes ConcertWare) and $992 (includes
     Professional Composer).

 2.  StudioMac from Creative Solutions, Inc.
                    4701 Randolph Road, Suite 12
                    Rockville, MD  20852
                    (301) 984-0262

     Complete package price is/was $595.

 3.  Total Music from Southworth Music Systems, Inc.
                      Box 275, R.D. 1
                      Harvard, MA  01451
                      (617)497-7522

     Literature did not state prices.

 4. MacNifty from MacNifty (The Kette Group, Inc.)
                  13895 Industrial Park Boulevard, Suite 110
                  Minneapolis, MN  55441
                  1-800-328-0184

    Their audio digitizer system is the one Silicon Beach uses in their
    games.  They have multiple products, the digitizer hardware is/was
    $129.95.

I have not given much detail since I don't feel comfortable trying to
summarize the sales literature.  Hopefully the names/addresses/phone numbers
provide the necessary leads.  You can request their current literature
and prices.

Disclaimer: I don't believe I have stated any opinions but I and everyone
            in the known universe (at least) disown them.  I have no
            association with any of the companies.  I hope this information
            is useful.
