Well, I'm against affordable housing then. Let Blackrock, who bought over 40% of the single family homes on the market, take it on the chin. Perhaps we can do a fire sale of corporate-owned homes.
This has made me determined to fight affordable housing even more so. I'd also like to ask, why is British journalism so shit tier? It's a fucking joke.
CIA doesn't trust this, will use military to blow up TSMC in the event the Chinese invade. But the Chinese will just keep slowly taking over the US government, making this policy of questionable use. LOL.
I recently saw one of these at a thrift shop. It very well could be the same unit. I'm more into "real" synths, I was mainly impressed by the number of buttons and the dual manuals.
Game composers usually composed their music on a MIDI workstation keyboard, sometimes only preparing a final mix on a Sound Canvas (or GUS etc). So it may be that using a higher end synthesizer is closer to the way the developer intended the music to be.
I don't think this is a huge problem though, waveforms on sound ROMs are normalized so their peak loudness is as loud as she goes, no matter what the synthesizer. Even Sound Canvas models have different sound ROMs over time, and Gravis (and later, Creative et al) shipped enhanced GM sound fonts as well. I just like instruments to sound more authentic. I understand though if people want that Roland Sound Canvas sound too, or MT32 even. MT32 still can't be properly emulated. I own the real deal and it sounds much better than MUNT. Hats off to the MUNT team but like most (all?) software emulations of hardware synthesizers, something is missing.
It's a common misconception that GM has to sound bad. Consumer GM units used the smallest sound ROMs they could get away with, lower quality DACs, etc. But you could fire up GM on your Kurzweil K2000, your Quadrasynth, your Roland, or Yamaha professional level synthesizers and workstations and the same GM programs would sound amazing.
For less than a higher end Sound Canvas, you can get a real professional synth with a much bigger and better sound ROM, better DACs, better effects, etc.
