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?

Full Version: Calliope/sequencer
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.
