Has anyone had any luck using MidiMouse?  I think I have our copy (legal)
working, but since I am a computer science major, I don't have the musical
backgroud to be sure.  We have a Mac II running the System Update 5.0, an
Opcode Systems MIDI interface, 2 DX100 keyboards, 1 DX7 keyboard, and a
Esoniq Mirage synth.  I think the program works, but I would appreciate
a description from someone who knows exactly what it does.  The same holds
true for some of the other software we have, including Jam Factory and
OnBeat (same company -- this may not be the right name -- I don't have
the software near me at the time).

I have not been able to get the Deluxe Music Construction Set to do anything
but crash.  My conclusion: not Mac II compatible.  Anyone have any comments
about this?

We also have a program called MidiPaint that does not work because it wants
us to use a Jam Box MIDI interface when we have Opcode Interfaces.

I would also be interested in hearing about any other MIDI software for the
Mac II.  You can never tell when more money will come along...

Thanks,
