[nmglug] MIDI question

[Bill York]

yeah, you'll need a MIDI interface for your computer. plug your
keyboard/other MIDI device into it.

they make some pretty cheap <http://tinyurl.com/m78m7t> USB ones, but I
don't know about Linux compatibility. Since Mac has a UNIX core, you may be
able to find some device drivers for them.

hth,
