Love it!I had to go back and listen to one of my favorite midi tracks - the Ultima online Buccaneer's Den theme.Using this sound font there are some really major improvements. Not that the original instrumentation that shipped with machines of the day didn't have its charm.I love the fact that we used to literally ship midi files around for game music - it's such a technically elegant approach and because it could be thought of as just 'musical markup' it was even trivial to add compositions to websites - when we had severe bandwidth limitations.While there's no question that the addition of a mastering step and the ability to ship perfectly 'rasterized' music (to mix metaphors) has meant we have a perfect rendition of the composer's intent and is vital for a lot of musical expression, there was always something fun about the idea that music directors were practically composing symphonies to be played by individual orchestras on each user's machine.
