"much better" is not so interesting to me (if you think about noise and latency or so... ) All I want is: The SF2 instruments should be correctly sythesised (unlike FluidSynth string creation) and the wavetable synthesizer should not omit some notes (unlike ALSA emu10k1 driver). Both offers AWE-64 with 24 MB RAM extention. > > Conclusion: try Delta 66 or some similar Pro-Gear or try it with a > ICE-chipbased card like terratecs muse, whitch are verywell supported by > alsa and can play SF from RAM.
