I am a computer scientist who has taken a recent interest
in digital music.  I also have an Amiga.

I want to hook up a Yamaha CVP digital piano to my amiga through
a MIDI interface.  As I understand it I need to purchase some 
extra hardware (< $100) to make my serial port talk MIDI.  
(I have a ``Medix'' on order =$50...)

Are there any public domain programs for interpretting the
MIDI format?  How about some transcription programs?

I am prepared to start from scratch, reading bytes off the port
and interpretting them with the help of The_Last_MIDI_Book, but
would appreciate any help I can get.

Any advice from net land would be welcome! Any suggested reading?

Thanks in advance!
