Sigh.......

You know, most likely Samuel's DLS is being played back by the MS synth, anyway, so you really can't say it sounds better than the MS synth.

Whenever you're talking about the quality of a DirectMusic synth, such as the MS synth, the synth's quality can only be as good as the instrument samples in the DLS its using.

Which is why the MS synth can sound totally different, depending on the DLS loaded.

I downloaded Samuels DLS a long time ago on a 56k. I just used a download proggy called GoZilla! Now I use GetRight though, less ads. I think I'll try out Samuels DLS again, I want to challenge Omega Weapon, never done that before.
Should I use MS Synth or upload it straight to my Audigy?

If you've got the Audigy set up to do hardware DLS, go for it, it'll take a little bit of load off of your CPU.

I like setting Winamp's midi plugin to directmusic then setting the DLS to Samuel's and playing ALL my midis with it
its keen

Heh I used a PII 233Mhz
64 Megs of ram
Some Yamaha Soundcard
ATI Rage Pro
back in the day. Every thing ran damn well to.. I remember back then when I first got the demo after playing the Ps version months back. I remember playing it though at least once per day to retain my sanity

Eventurly I convinced my dad to buy it and thats my story... eventurly I upgraded the ATI Rage Pro to a Riva TNT1. Fixed a lot of the movie crashing problems I was having but the game still crashed a bit. FFVII ran flawlessly on my next machine (Atholn 650), but I havent tried it on this one cause I screwed up duel booting to 98SE last time I tried. Oh well.
