Computer Transfer Of Midi Data... Need To Record It With My Emac!, Power Mac's Pro 4 MIDI data midi out to eMac, want to record it Options

[Cyanaether22]

Hey, I am trying an interesting experiment with my Power Mac 6100/60 and my eMac G4.

Basically, I have a whole bunch of MIDI files generated by Master Tracks Pro 4 from ages ago, these files are on my Power Mac. Unfortunately I don't have a MIDI compatible with my power mac, so what I've done is wired my Power Mac and eMac together using MIDI cables and adapters.

The eMac is receiving the data in its MIDI IN (MIDI Monitor shows this, I can show the logs if necessary), but I need some method of recording this data to a MIDI Recorder or Sequencer program.

What software should I use on my eMac to record this incoming midi data? I've tried a bunch of programs but none of them are what I need. GarageBand was my first idea but it says "MIDI drivers are conflicting" and won't load at all.

Any tips at all would be helpful. Thanks.

You are making it way too hard. Just save the tracks (I am not that up on this so I am not sure if I have the right extension names) as SMFs and you should be able to copy the files to any kind of storage format that can be opened by both of your computers and (I think) you can insert the individual SMFs into tracks in Garage Band....if it doesn't happen with GB, it'll definitely happen with other software like Reason, Live, Logic....etc.
