These are reasonable suggestions. The GS is taking its time when it comes to
sound/music/etc...
 
I would add that you could pick up a used inexpensive Atari ST and Notator,
which is being updated. This would cost far less than a Mac and Notator Logic
is hard to beat. On the other hand acoustic instruments are more to my
personal taste... If only we could get some good playback and editing 
programs for the GS. I don't really feel sequencing is that big a deal, but
each to his own.
