Need help choosing a sound card

[NeptuneUK]

I Need a sound card that I can use for gaming, and for recording music (powerful enough to process many effects simultaneously in realtime) But it MUST have a midi port!
The X-fi music looks good but I don't think it has anything for MIDI does it?!

If you need a MIDI connection for your sound card, you will prob have to buy either the X-Fi Fatal1ty fps or the X-fi pro.
The Fatal1ty one has mini MIDI connectivity, the pro has standard female connectivity.
As far as I know you will need the I/O panels for midi as no X-fi has native connectivity to MIDI.
Hope this helps.
