Deck is a digital sound oriented software and also used as a 
postproduction or gingles and spots.
It used to complement with Metro which is the Midi sequencer part for 
Deck.

Mac OSX has a very robust Midi integration and does not requiere of 
OMS. but, little application use the capabilities of OSX built in Midi 
support.

Those applications (Deck and Peak now belong to Bias Inc.)  is used in 
todays studios for digital audio: 
http://www.bias-inc.com/products/peak/features.html and 
http://www.bias-inc.com/products/deck/
They accepts VST plug-ins and OMS in OS9. not all VST plug-ins are 
compatible in OSX.

The Metro sequencer software has also been rewritten for OSX (Also 
works on OS9) from: http://www.sagantech.biz/
It also accept VST plug-ins and you can download a demo in the 
Sagantech.biz site.

Hope it works for you.
