Hi, Tristan !

T> I agree (Moonsound has a mixer tho, but only able to mix FM and WAVE)
Yep.
>> And sounds are good, but not enough to think OPL4 is professional.
>> I'm a musician, I work with professional synthesizers and samplers

T>
T> The Moonsound has a high quality output filter which makes it sound
T> okay. But it sounds very 'thin' compared to other synths due to lack
Certainly. Hmmm. I would like to make an experiment: to compose a song using a
multi-track recording system, professional multi-effect and mixer, and a
MoonSound !!
>> But .... I think OPL4 is better than the other wavetable cards which

T> I disagree. An AWE32/64 easily outperforms the Moonsound, _if used in

T>
T> - Far more detailed envelope settings
T> - Filters (cutoff/resonance)
T> - Effects (chorus/reverb/flanger/..)
:-) These effects are very ugly. I prefer 'plain' sound instead using
SoundBlaster 'effects' :-P
T> - Tons of RAM (in a good configuration)
Well .... that's right. But OPL4 sounds better than AWE. Moonsound's DAC
quality is superb!
T> The default on-board ROM is crappy though. The Yamaha one is superior
T> because of size and quality.
:) I agree.
Bye!
