Not sure at all what kind of music you are doing, or what kind of backup
tracks ... but I generate tracks with MMA and play the the midi files back
with timidity from a laptop. Just need a cable to an amp :) Yes, it's not
the greatest, bestest audio ... but I've never had a complaint. I have to
assume that the audience is listening to my wonderful sax playing :)

I use both MMA and xpmidi, both from my website www.mellowood.ca. Send me a
PM if you need details.

Best,
