HELP! MY MOM WANTS TO HOOK UP A MIDI KEYBOARD TO HER POWERMAC 6500/250. SHE IS A COMPOSER AND WANTS TO TRY USING A MUSIC NOTATION PROGRAM. THE ONLY AUDIO-IN PORT IS A MICROPHONE JACK AND THERE'S NOTHING IN HELP ABOUT MIDI. DOES SHE NEED TO ADD A SOUND CARD? DOES SHE NEED SOME KIND OF EXTERNAL BOX? WHAT SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE DOES SHE NEED?
I HAVE PC BACKGROUND AND MY MOM IS COMPUTER CHALLENGED. DETAILED RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATED! |

Presto- Thanks for the reply. My mom is a pianist. In the past, she has composed on the piano and done the notation by hand. She recently borrowed a Clavinola (midi) keyboard which we want to connect to her Powermac 6500. My mom is strictly interested in doing composition and notation. She is not trying to created a sound track or a demo or doing her own vocals. She just wants to be able to play some;thing on the keyboard and have it show up in musical notation form on the computer. I imagine after she gets the knack of the program (which we still need to get) she will probably edit with her mouse or keyboard. The final product will be a printed manuscript. to:
