A good point. For this to work, you need a second machine feeding midi input 
INTO the 1rst machine running Hotz translator. Since a lot of us (hopefully) 
have some spare Atari machines around, it is possable to set up Music Mouse, 
M, or whatever on one machine, set up Hotz on the other and Hotz will 
translate the material fed into it. Quite cool effects. I have good results 
with this setup. An example of M going into Hotz is in our AOTM for M 
directory.

I suppose you can do this same thing on a PC with 2 copies of steem(or a PC 
MIDI application) and hubbies loopback, with one feeding into the other.

As far as music theory, you really don't need to know any. Just selecting a 
scale and playing it is enough. Af course there are the chords you can 
select too, but you don't need to know music theory, just a good ear. Once 
you get the concept, it is easy to work with.

Pretty soon I want to write a Steem installation guide, as I think its a bit 
tricky because of the INF files and the different versions.
