I used to do a lot of electronic music stuff with clumsy, tweak-prone
analog modules.  FMsound, and WaveMaker peaked my interest in using
the Mac for sound synthesis, but I haven't seen anything else in that
vain come along.  If I had a programming language, which I will get
around to purchasing at some point, I'd be working on a sequencer and
"rythm box" program, and a "Synthesizer."  Has anyone on the net tried
this?

A related query:  The 1st issue of MacUser has an ad for the MacNifty
Music Keyboard.  It appears to be a keyboard similar to the (ok, but
not great) one used for the Intellevision.  Any experiences?  I can't
find a local dealer.  

Related MacNifty note:  I downloaded their SoundPlayer application
and some sampled sounds from CompuServe.  Nice.  Called them: this is
the forerunner of a sound sampler product.  In combination with the
keyboard and ConcertWare+ this may be a big step.
