It's a shame though. I was rather hoping to be able to say that I used
linux exclusively. Rather than the risk of giving free press to some
less deserving corporation or other.
Is there a reason you can't use software? Fluidsynth/Qsynth is efficient,
sounds great, and will load any SoundFont file that you might've wanted to
load on to your sound card's synth. I regularly use LinuxSampler, too, for
Gigastudio and SFZ files.
I actually had a SoundBlaster Live, with a similar on-board synth, in my
studio PC until very recently, but I never used the synth -- it's just not
worth the hassle when I can fire up Qsynth, or a Fluidsynth plugin within a
sequencer like Qtractor, to do the same thing.
