Well, I have an STAudio DSP24 with ADC&DAC 3000 I/O box, so i
think i can say something here.
It took my quite a few trials to figure out what it
takes for midi to work. Eventually I could connect
a MIDI keyboard to the I/O box and used fluidsynth and some
midi soundfonts I'd downloaded to play sounds
from the keyboard.
I'd tell you more but I nuked my old system and
had to rebuild.... Be very very careful upgrading
a Debian-based system if the upgrade involves
C libraries (glibc).
I'd just advise you to look at the various
midi-on-linux tutorials and make some trials and
errors.
I would like to purchase a cheap midi controller
keyboard and a nice
MIDI card that will enable me a plethora of high quality sounds and
emulations. Sequencer type stuff without the sequencer.
Can this be done?
