Cool, so he confirms exactly what I said about game composers on PC: they compose the MIDI/MT-32 version first, then try to 'port' it to FM. And he was already complaining about the lack of voices there, imagine porting the music to PCjr/Tandy or PC speaker 😀
Fun fact: Rob Hubbard explained that he actually did use MIDI for an AdLib song... That song is the Ski or Die title tune. The MIDI he used was a co-worker who had a MIDI guitar. He played the guitar solo on his guitar, and they recorded it as MIDI data. Hubbard then reworked that data into the AdLib sound track: https://youtu.be/I4Er2m8QR4U
