I've used MIDI sequences with a live band for many years. Generally my set-up has included an old mac laptop running Metro (Sagan Technologies) plus hardware tone modules.
Question: What's involved in using a Mac as a sound module (instruments). How powerful does the Mac need to be (speed, storage, processor)? In terms of instruments, my requirements are simply: bass, drums, keys, horns, strings, organs, pads, etc. Quick loading of songs is a must. Any recommendations on compatible sequencing software and "instruments?" If a little older technology will do, I'd like to avoid buying a new Mac. Thanks, Mason |

need more info on your hardware, but if you are running OSX you can run Garage Band which has a large selection of good sounding built-in instruments.
