Is there a combination high quality PC Soundcard and High Quality Synthesizer in one card ? i.e. If I used ACID with MIDI files but wanted to produce nice rich synths sounds (other than those provided by my current SoundBlaster) in conjunction with loops, what would I need ?

I would prefer not to have an external synth device with analog audio input (unless this is the only way to go)

Assume I already have a midi keyboard to act as a controller to produce my own midi signals.... (I would need to interface the midi out of the keyboard to the computer in some way - how would I do this ?)

Thanks in advance.
