Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hey Max don't make me laugh so hard while I'm at work!! Security just came
up here to try and escort me out of the building.

Actually some DOS programmers way way back in the day were able to program
decent sound sets for the FM on the original soundblaster, but this was very
rare. I remember the original Dune PC game (the Virgin one) as having a very
good SB FM soundtrack, and there were a few others out there that weren't
but so bad. What really totally killed FM on the SB was the default GM
soundset that came with Windows 3.1, it was awful and was not improved in
Win95 or after either. Invariably every Win game or program that used midi
tried to use the default Windows GM which used this awful soundset. I don't
even think that you could change the FM soundset in windows if you wanted
to. I think that this soundset is what everyone thinks of when they think of
SB FM. I actually remember running my SB through my stereo and turning up
some of those old DOS games they sounded so cool. Oh well those were the
days...
