Bob's 1010 card is an M-Audio Delta Series card.

They are known for robust drivers, relatively clean sound and they work and play well with PGMusic products.

Those not needing multiple channel inputs can save money and get the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card, which is "just" two channels analog input and output and two channels S/PDIF input and output but is still in the Delta series, using the same drivers as the larger 1010 card.

I use on on my Desktop every day and it works and plays well with PGMusic products.

Be advised that most other soundcards no longer contain a MIDI synth solution such as the Soundfont Engine in the Creative cards, but that is not a kill these days as there are softwares available that will allow you to load and play your Soundfonts, such as SFZ or Synthfont, etc. These too work well with the Delta series cards and most audio host softwares.
