...A module that will accept a midi keyboard with 1/4 audio outputs? Or atleast point me to (preferably older) model numbers, etc. <3

I don't think your question makes sense.
Are you looking at some synth module that will basically have 1/4" audio inputs? If so, you can either look at older analog synths or something like the K2600RS.
Can you please elaborate as to what you're trying to do?

like...something with 1/4 audio outs to plug a midi keyboard into. Kinda like the Roland MT32. Just looking for other options out there before I go dropping some cash on stuff I have no clue about. Thanks for the reply!

Still not making sense.
95% of synths have a 1/4 inch audio output. The only one I own that doesnt is an Alesis Nanosynth, which is as budget as they made. It has rca jacks. THEREFORE, a trip to Radio Shack gets you an rca>1/4 inch adaptor for 2 bucks.

I'm with Noisewreck --- your question makes no sense. Even the 2nd time.
Are you possibly confusing the functions of a midi jack and a 1/4" input?
The 1/4" jacks on the MT32 are outputs, not inputs. And as Noisewreck points out there ARE some relatively expensive midi modules that do have 1/4" inputs, but if you're looking for something inexpensive those would be out of your price range.
You can find General Midi modules for very little these days, and they will sound a whole lot better than the 20 year old MT32. One suggestion would be to go on your local craigslist and look for a Yamaha PSR series --- that would make getting a module and separate keyboard unnecessary since the PSR are keyboards with GM/XG sounds.

You guys are taking it too literal, meh thinks. Okay, I plug a midi keyboard into said decive, then run out of said device using normal audio outputs to say, a mixer. I don't know what I don't know here, trying the best I can.

You are looking for what we keyboard guys call a 'sound module' or a 'midi expander' or some such.
Try local pawn shops and, again, your local craigslist.
And you'll need at least one midi cable to plug the keyboard into the sound module.

A used Roland JV1010 would be a great place to start. Check Ebay, they are probably less than $200 and pretty good, you will be surprised.
