Subject: Re: New "Grand Piano" instrument bank for MIDIsynth
Another thing to keep in mind about IIgs sound versus PC sound cards is
that most of the IBM software out there today is written to support as
many machines as possible. This means that most software is written to be
used with SoundBlaster and compatible cards (4 8 bit digital channels plus
the FM synthesis Adlib stuff) and not these new wavetable cards. Don't
get me wrong though, there is support for these newer cards, it just isn't
really widespread yet.
And another thing, most of the multimedia packages on the market today
don't even use your sound card. They simply play CD audio directly from a
CD-ROM. These type of samples would sound the same on a 8 bit
SoundBlaster as they would on a wavetable card with 8 MB.
Just my two cents.
