To but in!  I have a awe32, a sound canvas (roland) and a jv1080 (roland)
The best sounds come from the 1080!!!  It's out board so takes a MPU401 
compatable or a MQX32m midi interface card. (mqx32m has 2 i/o ports rather 
then junt one)
you could plug in a keyboard to the interface card and record (midi) what you 
played. For fiddeling around I FIND that DOS version 4.01E of Cakewalk Pro 
works well or is it just cakewalk??  If your a mouse jockey then Cakewalk Pro 
AUDIO (windows) is for you. I'm sure that other software is out there and as 
good. Oh the Pro Audio also handels .WAV stuff.
I have a Yamaha OPL3sa (I think??) card and It just don't sound as good and a 
modual ie Sound Canvase or JV1080 but there cheaper money and sound.
