Your MIDI program can play your outboard synthesizer, which is connected to your sound-in port on the CPU (probably it's actually an audio-out signal coming from your outboard amplifier that you would connect, unless your synth is self-amplified).

You are actually much more fortunate than I am in that my current machine, which runs fine in OS 9, is really not up to date enough to run OS X seriously.
