Answer 1

I'm not sure what system configuration you got for the pc sound system, if you got a popular sound card like, creative lab sound card, it should support sound font, and you can use the following to make music with a lot more sound instruments instead of just general midi.

1. the sound font software from the creative lab site, it is use to combine various sounds, put variations on them, like echo, reverb, flanger and produce a new sound, the sound will become a note which you can play it back in midi using sound font supporting software. e.g.Vienna SoundFont Studio2.3

2. the sound sampler which produce a new unique sound or drum beat, it generate a sound sample which can be saved as wav files and import to the sound font software, and make a new musical instrument out of it if you work hard enough. e.g. Orangator

Hope this helps.
