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.  Jeff Stern.
