Help with MIDI

["Kevin L. Baker" <klb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear colleagues,
I am trying to built an experimental lab with little (actually no)
technical assistance, which is where I hope you may be able to help.

I would like to set up an array of 8 speakers in order to do some sound
localisation experiments.  My problem is how to send sounds from my
computer (Mac, or PC if pushed) to each one of the 8 speakers at
predetermined times.

At present, I use an Audiomedia II card with Synthesiser and/or
Hypercard/Supercard to present sounds from my Apple Mac Quadra.

Could this be done using MIDI or something else? or would I physically
have to build a manual switching box (a simple but inelegant solution)

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Many thanks
Kevin
