Wo wo wo.  I think my original point has become twisted.  Look at 
NoiseTracker... the good ol original FTA version.  It used all available 
RAM for loading in samples.  All I need is to trigger them via incoming 
MIDI data instead from the song sheet data.  No fancy effects.  Just Note 
On, Note Off, and if possible, pitch bend and velocity sensitivity, but 
nothing else.  (Unless of course, it's possible)  I'm not talking about a 
general midi player or anything like that... just a plain old 
NoiseTracker with MIDI support.
