SOUNDBLASTER 16's FM SYNTH ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

Started by Radium December 6, 2003
SB16's FM synth is the best synth second to FS1R

Sample-playback synths, analog synths, and FM emulators are shit
galore!!!

Why even make fermented sampled audio, virally-invaded analog, or the
cheap cheat crap of emulators?

I have listened to sample synths, analog synth (in a store, that is),
and FM emulators. They all
STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sample-based synths are rigid in their aliasing (highs are cut off).
Analog synths suffer the discord of hiss and static with the slightest
of surrounding electrical equipment. FM emulators have an obvious fake
sound and place a tremendous strain on the CPU ;-)

SB16 PCI is shit-composed substitute for the clean SB16 ISA. SB16 PCI
has no FM synth. SB16 PCI is human
excrement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes Creative Labs only make cheap noisy shit and they got the lousiest drivers. But It's only toy so one can't really blame em . . . . just buy something else if your serious about making music.

The AWE32 - now "legacy" - is quite good for making music. But one has to use its sparsely documented SP-DIF output and an external converter for quality sound to occur.

The AWE32 had a wave table MIDI synth, and the SP/DIF output only related to it. The AWE64 had the wave table MIDI synth and a SP/DIF output for both MIDI and WAV output.

A wavetable can do more than human-shitted sample-playback set
