On top of that, I think the soundtrack was also tweaked for the AWE32's EMU8k default wavetable and many think that's the best version (well that's what I remember from back in the day). But I can say that the game sounds best to most people on General Midi (but using a Roland Sound Canvas), it also has the FM soundtrack tweaked for taking advantage of things like the Sound Blaster and compatibles. Rixasha, that's a hard question to answer without the games producer to do it for us. Now why on earth you would want to use Microsoft GS (even with stereo enabled) when there are so many better options is beyond me, but to each their own. You'll find that Microsoft GS does the ability to output stereo. You can always check to ensure your stereo output with many free music utilities like Audacity. On top of that, you can also disable stereo output of a soundfont without knowing you did and that leaves you with mono. I can understand why as loosing anything that adds spatial effects to sound and then comparing it to something else that offers that ability can make it seem that there is a loss of a channel.



Vulchor, you may think that its mono because of the lack of effects. However, the samples are both highly compressed (which really makes them sound pretty bad compared to the Roland GS sound canvas they are taken from), and its missing all the effects that one would find on a real Roland SC unit. Windows default GS soundfont is not missing any samples, and does indeed support full stereo.
