I don't have a Delta 44 so I can't be sure but the description I see 
for it (http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/801) 
doesn't mention a MIDI interface and I would think if it had one they 
would mention it so I would guess that it does not.

The digital I/O referred to (as available on the 66) is used if you 
want to record from digital sources without the signal having to be 
converted back to analogue and then re-converted to digital with the 
resulting loss of quality.

As an example, if you have an external digital synth which has digital 
out, or if you want to incorporate material someone has sent you on 
minidisc (or any other digital format the PC can't read directly) and 
have a minidisc player with digital out you can record that on the PC 
without the double conversion mentioned above and therefore with better 
sound quality.

Steve.
