I am using the 'SI-drum kit' as a soft synth.
It are pre-designed MIDI tracks with already AUDIO added to the track.
And I'm sorry, but what do you mean by web?
However, thanks for responding so fast nice person from Finland.

WorldWideWeb = Internet
I've never heard of MIDI-tracks with "audio added to the track". I don't think such exist, or then it's the choice of words that creates confusion. Are you perhaps using Simple Instrument Tracks without actually knowing how MIDI works.
AFAIK SI-drums works like any other drum sampler. You have samples triggered by MIDI.
If you move the MIDI track elsewhere or change the MIDI routing, you have no sound. If you move the MIDI track to
the net it has no sound if you don't bounce it to audio.
Well, that is not quite correct. Midi files can indeed be processed on web pages, or on computers - as midi files - without bouncing to audio first, per se.
Disclaimer: it is frightfully early, and I have had no coffee, so please do not jump on me for the ragged explanation that follows - the concept being explained is valid.
A web page can indeed contain code for an embedded Windows Media Player and will process/play a midi file, and route the midi data to play through the general midi (GM) support of the sound card for the computer, and you will hear the sound, even though it is a midi file. There are also additional applications that do the same kind of thing with midi that Windows Media Player does, so indeed there are multiple ways one can play a midi file and hear sound - not because midi itself has any audio in a given midi file, it is simply that these applications and Windows are acting rather like soft synths by processing the midi data and creating audio data on the fly.
