But, I've played MIDI tunes with IDH, for example with the Russian DSS player for DOS or Open Cubic player for DOS. These play from the original 8 MB GUS wavetable / soundfont patches which are read into RAM and a Wavetable audio card is simulated using those 127 .WAV samples (instrument patches).

ZDoom doesn't offer this capability.
