Some of us have been playing with Squeak MIDI here, and a Windows user was saying that he gets great MIDI quality "by choosing the third menu item" when MIDIPort requests from user the right port. Third menu item? On my Mac, I can only choose which serial port that I might have a hardware synthesizer on.

So, I tried Virtual PC. In Windows Squeak, I also get the option of SoundBlaster MIDI, or Yamaha MIDI, or whatever other software synthesizers that are available. It sounds great!

The Mac has such a software MIDI synthesizer built-in, available through QuickTime. Is it possible to be able to access it the same way that Windows Squeakers can access their software synthesizer? I'm trying to dig through the Sources and the QuickTime docs (http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/quicktime/qtdevdocs/REF/tp_qtma_aboutqtm... tm#22202) but I'm not quite grokking it.

Thanks for any tips! Mark
