Hello, can someone help me on this?
Did you (or GOG) manage to obtain the ORIGINAL general midi sounds on modern computers?
I'm talking about the Ensoniq waveset (EAPCI8M.ecw file) found in the old Sound Blaster cards.
I've tried a bunch of replacement soundfonts, but none is really faithful! (most noticeable: Descent's strong percussions often sound like instruments)
A guy tried to convert the waveset here, but then sadly abandoned the project.
Do you know if some other faithful replacement exist?
EDIT: link to an older post here
