That original is the Gravis ultrasound version, which wasn't that good compared to the basic soundbaster midi.

- jchw 3y agoI thought in general, MIDI on Soundblaster was rendered via OPL2/3 whereas GUS had wavetable synthesis with customizable patches. Would you not generally expect it to be better?
- lofaszvanitt 3y agoWell, it's a matter of preference. That's like amiga music vs c64 music. C64 music was much more closer to my heart.
- jchw 3y agoOkay, that's a fair point. Truth be told, I actually really do like the sound of those FM chips like the Yamaha OPL2, and the SID.

- justsomehnguy 3y agoDepends on the composer. To this day I prefer ugly, but fun, ESSFM to GUS in DOOM/2. Duke3D sounds better on a wavetable board but AWE32/64 version (at least with a stock bank) is meh.
