How can I keep my MIDI from sounding like a cheesy
video game?
I suspect its my card. What card would give me excellent/sample
quality midi or playback?
If you have an emu10k1 based card and are using the hardware
wavetable synth, the single best thing you can do is get a decent
soundfont. The ones that come with the Windows driver all suck.
This is my standard answer to that... hehe... this is the best soundfont
I've heard....
It's 141 Megs. I (think) some hardware wavetable synths have limited
capacity. If so use a soft synth like fluidsynth.
