    I'm not a Mac guy, but I'm pretty sure you'll need to run Windows using Boot Camp or a virtual machine like VirtualBox.
     
    FWIW, there are general midi sounds built into Mac OS, but I'm guessing you'll need a way to record them? You can buy GarageBand for $5 if you don't already have it.
     
    This looks dated, but may be helpful with accessing GM instruments from within GarageBand.

    Garageband might be worth a try. Logic's much better, being a full DAW and relatively cheap compared to most.

    Downloading a free trial demo of one of the established DAWs like S1 or Reaper might work as well.

    Sonar Platinum 64bit, Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit, I7 3770K Ivybridge, 16GB Ram, Gigabyte Z77-D3H m/board,
    ATI 7750 graphics+ 1GB RAM, 2xIntel 520 series 220GB SSDs, 1 TB Samsung F3 + 1 TB WD HDDs, Seasonic fanless 460W psu, RME Fireface UFX, Focusrite Octopre.
    Assorted real synths, guitars, mandolins, diatonic accordions, percussion, fx and other stuff.
