+++ THESE +++ are interesting midi sound modules. They are by a Taiwan acoustic piano and electronic keyboard manufacturer.

The Mini Engine USB, that's the model on the left on the webpage, sells for $59 US on Amazon. The Mini Engine Pro sells for about $72 US on Amazon.

Both units have an internal battery so you can connect directly to a midi controller and bypass the need for a computer.

For computer use, the units perfom similar to any external midi sound module. The units use the EMU-8030 midi synth chip capable of using 16 or 24 bit wavetable samples at resolutions up to 192 Khz so the sound limitation will be whatever wavetable sound bank is used. One of the units advertise a 128 MB sound bank which is similar in size to the sound bank Creative used in their sound cards.

MidiPlus has other midi products so if your interested in midi the site is worth investigating.
