I had my share of clone cards back in the day. Old games where quite fickle and often you got got burnt when some game didn't work properly. They bought one because they where cheaper and couldn't afford a Creative card. Back in the day when I was young and green, nobody bought a clone card because they sounded "better". Alone in the Dark Soundblaster Pro option). Disabling the internal cache or patching the game (if there is one) usually fix this. If a game does give you issues it's usually speed related (your PC). They are also compatible and you won't have any issues. A Soundblaster Pro 2 is guaranteed to have OP元, with SB16s and AWE32s you need to look for specific model numbers (and I don't know them).Ĭreative Labs cards are also as authentic as it gets.
That rules out the AWE64s and many of the AWE32s and SB16s. If you want authentic FM sound as well, I recommend any Soundblaster with a genuine Yamaha OPL chip.
It's PnP and you can disable all the resourced you don't need (MIDI port, joystick.). An AWE64 GOLD is very good for speech / digital effects card. Opinions also vary but seeing you have a dedicated MIDI card for your Roland gear, any of the Soundblasters will do just fine. Anything interesting about that Yamaha synth? The CM-500 will cost you an arm and a leg and you already have an MT-32 and a Sound Canvas. Now, mind you, it can't do things like an MT-32 or Yamaha XG hardware, but for GM (on a fast PC running DOSBox) you're golden. I downloaded and installed the latest/last version of the RVSC (I think it was version 3.0) a while back, and being that 3.0 supposedly superceded the older RVSC-88 the measly 3.?MB sound bank that it comes with doesn't do the Roland SC-88 (or SC-55) any justice Anyhoo, I prolly said it before (can't really remember) but if you have an Audigy 2, that along with a decent soundfont (such as my custom one -> Weeds General MIDI SoundFont v3.0, or any soundfonts mentioned within this thread -> AWE64 with 32 (28 really) MB of RAM ) will surely sound *extremely* nice for anything General MIDI compatable 😀 Surf to my web page at, and hear how that Audigy can/could sound 😀 It sounds almost *identical* when I played DOOM's original (converted) MIDI file using the MS softsynth. This due to it using that 16-bit Roland "GM.DLS" (that also came with Windows), which is supposedly a converted (?) dump of the SC-55's sample ROM.Īnyhoo, I had a listen to DOOM's E1M1 music from Swaaye's page (took me a while. I had always read that the Microsoft GS Wavetable Software Synthesizer (you know, the one that ships with WinDoZe) sounded extremely close to a Roland SC-55. BTW, dunno if it was mentioned previously in this thread:
