    IF I had to recommend a computer for MIDI it would have to be the
    ST.  IT's got the MIDI port built in and there is LOTS of great
    MIDI software for it.  there is even a program (I'm pretty sure)
    that will take MIDI data and score it .  Although the mac may
    be king, the ST is giving it a run for the money.  Considering
    a Mega II (no relation to the chip in the GS) is about half the
    price of a Mac.  You really can't loose.
