Hi Manuel !!!

STUDIO-QUALITY !!!
I work in a music studio!
XM, S3M, etc. are far away from Studio-Quality!
Only bad companies release XM music!

In many cases synthesized sound is better than sampled sound!
And don't forget that professional music is made with synthesizers very often,
not sampled sounds!
I'll release a MSX Music CD for soon. Most of sounds I've used are made with
real synthesizers (Kawai K5, Korg Poly 800II, Oberheim Matrix-12 ....), but no
sampled sounds.
I don't know the real reason, but musics made for FM-version of MoonBlaster for
MoonSound (6 PCM + 18 FM) sound better than 24 wave-channels one. Perhaps I
like synthesizers too much O:)
