no, it's not an ideal choice for ya. it's a good General MIDI synth, but as
such it cannot use new samples and the programmability of the sounds is
greatly limited. It's quite alot more (3X the price or so) but the only
plugin card for the mac that i would recommend is the Samplecell II setup,
which is extremely nice.
on the other hand, you can get some midi sequencing software, a midi
connector for your mac, and a used EPS sampling keyboard w/2mb for $800 or
so probably. that's the way to go, unless you could be talked into buying a
PC where boards that have alot of the functionality of the samplecell start
at a mere $100 :)
