I have an old Echo Indigo in my laptop for SMF playback. It is quite good, but wondered if any of you have anything better. I have many alternate means of recording, so playback quality without clunky interfaces and modules is my goal.

Bernie record all you SMF to Mp3

Donny
That is one of the alternate recording devices I was talking about. I am speaking of playback only.
Thanks for the reply
Bernie

Maybe I'm missing your point, but,I have to have the best sound card or module for midi playback. I guess I don't see where recording a mediocre source in MP3 format will help me. My Echo card is good, but if there is better at a reasonable cost, I would like to know about it.

That way, when you get a better keyboard, you (and your audience) can still listen to all your tracks on the older gear...

Diki....I have almost everything I do including all my live arranger style gig songs, SMF & Mp3's all recorded on my laptop & Thumb Drive, & on my Zen Touch player...you never know what can happen and a few times thru the years it has helped me get out of a few on stage jams for sure..
I rarely use them lately & mostly play live styles unless the occasion arises...but its always a good bet to be prepared ...
