Of course I was a kid at the time, the kind that didn't even have enough money to even be allowed inside the kind of stores that would sell this stuff. Fast forward to adulthood and I learned that it wasn't a sound card at all - it was a standalone MIDI-module! The second thing I learned was that they originally were, and still are, incredibly expensive items. Especially for those of us who were born without any sense of rhythm. Cue other incredibly talented people found on the Internet, in particular for creating the mt32-pi project - allowing people like myself to build a device capable of at least emulating one of these fantastical devices. All it takes is a somewhat cheap, mostly available Raspberry Pi 3 or 4. As with everything I enjoy playing around with, as long as it is simple enough for me to do so - I'll look into building my own version of it. Granted, I may have cheated more than a little bit by starting out with a copy of the design files for clymsyMIDI as my starting point. I had a lot of fun building the original BulkyMIDI-32 , my process can best be described as an exciting journey down a rabbit hole of all things MIDI including similarly themed audio projects.
