No. > - If it has synthesizer hardware, how to make use of it ? > - If it doesn't, which software synthesis can I best use ? timidity or iiwusysnth are quite good for general purpose Midi, and you should be able to use any software synth to play with a midi keyboard, i.e. Csound, PD, Spiral Synth Modular, ... > - Or should I buy a better sound card, even for casual playing music ? The Soundblaster Live cards (and AWE and Audigy) have decent hardware synths but they don't necessarily sound better than iiwusynth for example. But most onboard soundchips don't have good audio quality anyway so most 'real' soundcards will sound better. It just depends on what one wants and what one can hear. ciao, -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
