Although this program will function with any Windows & GM compatible 16-bit 
sound card here are some issues of consideration:

Most Sound Cards that are built on the motherboard, usually do NOT have a REAL
driver capable of handling MIDI In. In these cases, there is no Driver listed
that can be selected as a MIDI Input, from the program's "MIDI Port Setup" 
section. The only solution to this may be purchasing a stand-alone Sound Card
that is capable of handling MIDI.

If your system uses the "MS GS Wavetable SW Synth" this is a software based 
synth that will not allow you to use the MIDI In capabilities of your Sound
Card adequately. You would need to use your Sound Card's proprietary MIDI 
Driver instead of a 'generic' 'universal' driver (when possible). 

If the only driver that works with your soundcard/soundchip is the "MS GS 
Wavetable SW Synth" then that's really not good. You may need to get a 
different soundcard. Please contact your computer or soundcard manufacturer 
first and see what they say.

Nowadays, that sound cards are geared towards multi-channel speaker and
24 bit / 96 kHz support, MIDI support is NOT on the forefront of Features 
anymore. The Turtle Beach Santa Cruz however, is an excellent Card, still
offering real MIDI capabilities.
