1-16 (0-15) on most hardware devices. Some interfaces support more than 
16 channels.

AFAIK there's no particular limit to the number of banks a device can 
have. A bank is chosen with a Bank Select message.

Physical ports on hardware synths are typically limited to In, Out, and 
Thru. Hardware MIDI interfaces may include several in and Out ports. And 
of course you can create virtual ports with ALSA's snd-virmidi.

0-127 per bank.

See, isn't MIDI easy ? ;)

Best,
