Hi there,
Just bought a mac g5. Was wondering do I need any sort of midi interface in order to plug my midi keyboard in ? Or can I just get a midi to usb cable an pl;ug it straight in the back. Thanks Ed |

you will need more than that. Midi devices just send out "clicks" which must be interpreted by a midi interface device. if you are using garageband, for example, you will need some midi interface device which will interpret these and then use the software instruments to change those "clicks" into what you want them to be. this link gives a good list of interface devices and a lot of other help, if you are using garageband.
