What meant to I say...
Yeah, I know that MIDI and audi are two different things... (and that many others are confused by this). I took too many shortcuts in writing the post...
What I want to do is take some of the samples in my card and use them without special MIDI software. So I'd like to either get SF to record the sounds created by the MIDI triggered samples (which have to come out of the sound card to the speakers), essentially getting the MIDI audio out (not the code out, the actual sound) to go into SF. That is, without hooking up a cord from my speaker output to go back into the mic input (D/a, then A/d, oh the loss!...). Or even export the samples from the card to .wav files.
Is this any clearer? I do get the impression that I'm seeking the impossible, but I have a nice sequencing program that takes samples in .wav and doesn't use MIDI instruments. If I had .wavs of the samples, I could use them there.
