There are various softsynths (QSynth, AMSynth, Hydrogen, I think
Timidity has a built-in one also) that can be used, and many sound
better than the wavetable synthesis you will find on a cheap soundcard.
You can always use outboard MIDI synths also.
I use both, actually, since my audio hardware (Audiophile 2496) doesn't
have its own synthesizer -- all the better, I say!
