Software for Musicians

[Squire]

Hi.

I was just wondering if any of you can recommend some music-creation software or play-along programs for the Mac. I've heard that "Band in a Box" is cool but it apparently has some problems with OS X.

I'm thinking about buying a Yamaha WX 5 wind controller (kind of a saxophone-like synthesizer- anybody here have one?) and I want to edit MIDI stuff on my Mac and just jam to some tunes.

(I'm still in the very early stages of educating myself about creating music on a computer so excuse my ignorance.)

Thanks a bunch,

Squire

I'm not sure what you need, but sibelius does midi, and it's very good software, although it's mainly for music notation...
