</div></div>iirc the audigy2 does have an integrated synth, or iow, an integrated<br>
soundfont2 rompler, as most creative soundcards. as such, quality mostly<br>
depends on the particular sf2 file that is loaded<br>
<br>
of course, you need afxload to load a sf2 before you throw in any midi<br>
and ear any audio from it ;)<br>
<br>
