Well that's a teenage dream realized right there. Turns out absolutely nothing stops you from telling 86Box's emulated sound card to send midi out to an actual midi device hooked to your desktop, and it just works.
So here's Duke Nukem 3D using the SC-88 on my desk in SC-55 map mode.
Sound is coming back in via the analog inputs of my audio interface and I have finally achieved "the rich people setup" of my dreams in the 90s. Totally worth it.
