I went ahead and got it. It said it could do "spatial" effects and I realized it was the first Saturday of the month, AKA 1/2 price. I picked up 2 in case someone wanted one. I now need to try and find an old comp to gut and use this in.

Definately sounds like simple midi, but skipping around there were some good sounds .

Yeah I read that, but then I stumbled onto a youtube video that sounded alright.

Edit: shoulda added a youtube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Zz-OFYTQLE

The cards are actually 16bit or have opl3's? You should probably buy them because people here could then buy them from you. I have a sound blaster but I think its newer...sadly.

"without actual hardware for FM synthesis, FM music was simulated using the Ensoniq wavetable, with the result that most FM soundtracks sounded little more than a jumble of cacophonous notes played on random MIDI instruments"

doesnt sound promising

Anybody know of anything cool you can do with these? I found a wiki for them, but nothing else on google. My local goodwill has one in the box for $6, and 2 others with box that are opened.I was thinking of trying out an SB16 build I thought this may have some potential until I get the SB16 set up.
