Message-ID: <2911@orion.cf.uci.edu> Date: 23 Sep 89 03:54:14 GMT Reply-To: jstern@orion.cf.uci.edu (Jeff Stern) Distribution: na Organization: University of California, Irvine Lines: 10 What is MIDI? Why use an Apple //, also? I want to get a keyboard, maybe one that samples sounds, too. What advantage will having a MIDI interface card bring to this? Also, I have a //gs. What is the best MIDI interface board for the purpose above? Do I even need one with the sound chips in the gs? Obviously, I am new to this area of the //, and could use an explanation. Thanks.
