Can I use any PC Sound Card as a MIDI interface?

RSD's Frequently Asked Questions - Theatre Sound Design & Sh...
We have discovered that some are better than others, though. If you seem to be getting MIDI data errors, try using a different sound card.

OSS sound is crappy; can't I use Timidity for MIDI output?

FreeSCI - Frequently. Asked. Questions.
Well, the genius behind TiMidity has added the ability to run a TiMidity server that accepts MIDI data timidity-io.c, a fantastic piece of work that, when built into an application, takes over some syscalls near the top of the file, build it (cc -O2 -c timidity-io.c works) and link it in with the final sciv binary. Fire up the TiMidity server (timidity -ir 7777) and start sciv. You will (should!) be pleasantly surprised when you get high quality MIDI out of your non-MIDI card. See similar questions...

What is a multiclient MIDI interface?

bZone
The word says it: "multi-client", where you should read "client" as "MIDI application". So, a multiclient driver allows more than one ("multi") application ("client") to use the same MIDI ports of your interface. So, you could use your favorite sequencer and bZone at the same time. With a single client driver, only one application can use the MIDI ports. See similar questions...

Why is the Gravis Ultrasound sound card supported more than General MIDI?

PC Demos FAQ -- Official FAQ of comp.sys.ibm.pc.demos
While General MIDI has much higher sound quality instruments, the number of instruments (and the instruments themselves) are fixed in nature; that is, you cannot change any of them. (If you don't like the sound of a particular piano instrument, for example, you're stuck with it.) MODs, and MOD-like formats (see FAQ 2.4) allow the composer to use whatever instruments he feels like. See similar questions...

Can I have more than one sound card?

Answers To Frequently Asked Questions
With the current sound driver it's possible to have several SoundBlaster, SoundBlaster/Pro, SoundBlaster16, MPU-401 or MSS cards at the same time on the system. Installing two SoundBlasters is possible but requires defining the macros SB2_BASE, SB2_IRQ, SB2_DMA and (in some cases) SB2_DMA2 by editing local.h manually. It's also possible to have a SoundBlaster at the same time as a PAS16. With the 2.0 and newer kernels that configure sound using make config, instead of local. See similar questions...
