Hello,

I would like to ask for some advice about setting up a PowerBook Pismo as a MIDI synthesizer.

I have a M-Audio Keystudio 49:

Since it had no build in midi synthesizer and the software to get some sound out of it is hdd hungry and hardware hungry, I was thinking about options.

I could buy a midi synthesizer for keyboards, like the yamaha tone generator:

but they are expensive and hard to get by.

or set up a PowerBook Pismo, to get some sound out of it.

I just want to get some sound out of the keyboard, few pianos and some wulitzer or rhodes.

PowerBook has: 450MHz G3, 256 RAM, and a 40GB HDD.

Both 10.4 and 9.2.2 installed.

No better place I guess to ask for advice than here.

What would you recommend on doing? 8-o
