Please have a look at my "why-i-want-a-hardware-midi-sythesizer"-page: http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/soundtest/soundtest.html There you'll find 3 files: 1. example2.mid - The MIDI source 2. example2hardware.mp3 - produced by my AWE64 sound card with with soundfont 8mbgmsfx.sf2 3. The same produced with timidity -s 44100 -Ow1Ml -o example2timid.wav example2.mid unsing the so-called EAW patchess wich are known as the best GUS patches fir timidity The 2. sounds like a real playing bigband. The 3. like an orchestra in a stock pot.

This is still worse than TiMidity. The strings sound like a guitar (because the don't sustain the notes) and the drums are removed.(?) > BTW, I think timidity ok.
