best is get info about midi, there are a number of keybaords
available that have a usb port for midi in/out & you can get
sophisticated midi record/edit/play software (eg finale, band in a
box) or just "el chipo" the quicktime player
in the audio/midi setup there you "connect" the keyboard to the osx
for control though the installed software
if your friend needs good sound quality he has to spend more money (>
$700.-) for a keyboard and then set the software to play back through
the keyboard & connect an amp & speakers to the keyboard

Hi all, a friend who is a professional composer and musician is
looking at buying a keyboard to use with a Mac, and we were
wondering if anyone has ideas or experience with using a keyboard,
partly for ease of input into musical scores with Finale or
Sebelius, but also wants a keyboard that is playable as a stand
alone. cheers, Susan.
