That said, there might have been some actual MIDI player that used actual samples for reproduction instead of those horrible typical synthesized instruments that you usually hear.


That'd be because, back in those days, wavetable synthesis was rare on soundcards. These days, I believe that even an AC97 PoS supports wavetable synth.

There is a soft synth built into Windows now which uses a Roland ROM image. I think you're limited to a certain sampling frequency however.
