As their name implies these are hardware synthesizers without the keyboard. They are triggered by either stand alone Keyboard controllers, wind controllers or a stnad alone synthesizer. These modules are used to layers sounds together and often musicisians wil have 3 or more of these modules to create signature sounds from "old school" moog synth sounds to newest and coolest sounds coming from samplers.
Software
A music sequencer (also MIDI sequencer or just sequencer) is software or hardware designed to create and manage computer-generated music. Many sequencers have features for limited music notation, so as you play music they can literally let you see what the music score to what you just wrote looks like

MIDI and the MAC
Hardware
ControllersKeyBoard Controllers
These are just keyboards that do NOT have any capability of making any sounds on their own. They are used to generate MIDI data and the sound comes from extenal synthesizer modules (which we will talk about later) or from software based synthesizer which are nothing more than software that acts like a sound module.
MAudio makes some good onesI use the a usb based one called the Keystatio 61ES http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Keystation61es-main.html
This has a weighted keyboard and its touch sensitive. That keyboard goes for about $170 US over at Sweetwater
However you can get others for under 100 just Google Keyboard controllers
On the other end you can go as high as more than $1000 . If you are a prosummer something like the
Roland A37 MIDI Keyboard Controller 76 key for about $400 US is very good.

Back to my Mac - .Mac's remote access feature. Allows you to access files and also screen share remote Macs running Leopard. Easy to use and set up (in theory). It does require you to have a $99 .Mac acct.
(Free or low cost alternatives a little later in the show).
On other versions of the Mac OS use - VNC (virtual network computing) for screen sharing. Set up file sharing for file access. Leopard and Tiger both have VNC servers built in (Tiger >sharing control panel > select Apple remote access >once selected you will be able to set up a password. In Leopard the setting is called remote management, but this is a good option if your are trying to control a leopard based mac with a computer not running leopard or even the Mac OS.... Like a PC.... And Vice-versa). This is how you can run a computer or server "
