Is there a way to output midi data from MAC or PC so that I can have one in a series of LED lights light up when the corresponding note is played?

DIY Keyboard: It's my understanding that I can take an old PII computer running, say, Windows 98, hook up a cheap MIDI keyboard to it and presto change-o have a grand piano or Hammond B-3 keyboard.
