[linux-audio-user] Advice for new users?

[Chaz Kiser]

Is there anyway I can make my Midi Output sound like something other than a
cheap toy keyboard.  I'm a musician and would very much like to explore the
world of Midi but can't get past the horrible tones.  Will I have to have an
external box or can the situation be rectified with a quality midi sound
card?
