I'm planning on purchasing
a midi card to accompany my STAudio envy24 card. I'm not too sure of
its MIDI capabilities.
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?
M-Audio midisport interfaces might be worth looking into -- they are USB
devices and are supported under ALSA (I didn't even see the STAudio card
listed on the ALSA site).
You'll need a synthesizer and/or sample engine to produce sound in
response to MIDI events coming from the keyboard. MIDI on its own does
not produce any sound.
