How can I keep my MIDI from sounding like a cheesy

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.

What's the deal with the licensing on that? Where did it originate?
I'll break out some patches to have a look see, but if we can get a definite
call on on the legality I'll shave it down to 128MB. Breaking it into
separate Music & FX wouldn't suck. Wouldn't be GM, but that's a lowest
common
denominator anyway.
