timidity renders in software with its own wavetable set - that's not
what the OP asked about.  It looks like midiplay is the same sort of
thing, but it doesn't seem to have a home anymore.  The nicer sound
cards have hardware wavetable synthesizers, but there doesn't appear to
be a way to use them much under Linux.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
