I'm curious as to whether anyone has experimented with using one of the new Intel based Mac Minis as a glorified software sample playback module, a la the Muse Receptor? I'm on an iMac G5 and was wondering if I purchased an new Mac Mini (which I would devote exclusively to sample playback) if this little network-of-sorts could work? It would take all the computational heavy lifting for sample playback off the iMac and place it on a processor that seems to be cut out for that sort of activity.
-Would I need a separate monitor for the Mac Mini or could I somehow use get into the MacMini from the built in monitor of the iMac?
-How would I send MIDI data from Finale to the Mac Mini...I've heard about MIDIOverLan...?
Any constructive thoughts would be welcomed.
Blessings,
