I have built a 48 whistle midi controlled air calliope which operates from an old PC with windows 98, a Cubasis av sequencer and a 64 pin midi decoder. I want to switch to an ebook which will fit inside the calliope. All I want to do is play a stack of midi files which are available on the web. I don't do composing or arranging. Can someone recommend a basic and inexpensive program which will take the place of cubasis and go in the mac?

It comes with the OS Quicktime will play midi files with it's software synth.
Now I don't know what an ebook is, but if it's a Mac it will also come loaded with Garage Band, an entry level audio/midi sequencer with over 50 virtual instrument, and able to record 8 audio tracks at a time.

Sorry about the typo, ibook is right. Thanks for the info. I'll follow it up but I don't think garage band will output midi to a separate device. Hope I'm wrong.

If you follow the Software link upper on the page, you are in our software tracker, there are a few MIDI only sequencer in shareware or low cost commercial. Like Easy Beat or Metro SE…
I don't know them personally, but Metro has quite some (fanatic) followers around here.

The MidiO AUPlug can supply midi out from GB, I think it's shareware. there may even be a link on this site.
If not you can check KVR-VST.com they have info on all available plugs.
