I coded an application called "FireJam", which lets your compact mac be at the center of music production. It can take in mouse clicks, typing keyboard playing and MIDI in keyboard playing. It can output sound in the old Mac Sound Driver, or to a MIDI out connected external module. Coded in Symantec C++ 6.0.
