Currently, I have been using some QuickTime sample code to enable audio
output controlled via a Fatar Studiologic SL-880. To be exact, I have the
General MIDI item set as the default synthesizer in order to make use of the
SoundBlaster card that I have installed.
I am aware of mLAN support with Mac OS X from the documentation. Is there a
solution or workaround available to use a MIDI keyboard under Mac OS X? I
saw the keynote and demo at WWDC. In the absence of a SoundBlaster card with
a MIDI port, I would believe that the two possibilities that remain would be
USB and Firewire. The FastLane MIDI-USB device that I have requires a Mac OS
X driver, which does not currently exist. MIDI-Firewire devices seem to be
very few. Are people using direct USB or Firewire connections to MIDI
devices (e.g. USB keyboards) for testing and development? I would like to
start with a relatively simple program that will enable me to play music on
the SL-880 using some SoundFonts that I have.
Thanks,
Steve
