I am interested in buying a MACINTOSH+ for use in music composition, specific-
ally with synthesizers.  I have a number of questions about this, though.

1)  What's the best price around I can get on a MAC+ and an ImageWriter II
    printer?

2)  How much is the MIDI interface for the MAC+?  Are there any good mail
    order places to get one?

3)  What are the BEST music software packages for recording, editing scores,
    sequencing, and playing back your work through your synths (not just the
    oscillators in the MAC+ (I have heard of Delux Music Construction Set,
    Professional Composer and Performer)?

4)  Will these packages also allow multi-voice playback through a YAMAHA FB-01
    and a KORG DW-8000?

5)  Are there any of you out there using this type of set-up?  What are your
    opinions?


Please send me your comments via e-mail.  Thanks.
