It looks like 1.21 works fine.

You probably wouldn't want it.

I have an adapter. It has two female DIN-type plugs on one end
(marked IN and OUT) and a gameport plug on the other. (The
gameport plug plugs in to the soundcard, and there is also a
place where you can plug in a joystick, too, if you want to
use it at the same time.) The DIN-type plugs go to a MIDI
keyboard, so you can either send to output of playmidi to
the keyboard, or record a performance from the keyboard into
a MIDI file.

I can turn on a 3D effect on my Vibra16. This one must have more
options? My laptop's sound card has 3 different 3D settings, while
the Vibra16 only lets you turn one thing on and off.

ALSA has some kind of SB16 utility for reverb.
