These are an example of some of the music that I want to hear from Jay's target hardware. That Based uploader guy has a lot of other videos, and I feel like his uploads with emulated soundfonts are the best we've heard so far. I'd just like to nail it down 100%.
By changing your systems MIDI soundfont, you can recreate the AWE32 Soundblaster sound which is how the music was meant to be heard

It's all hearsay at this point, but I've reached out to Jay Barbeau to find out what his target/platform was at the time. I want to hear what he heard while he was performing/optimizing it.
I can't seem to find an original/kunark manual pdf link that isn't long dead. [edit: correction: all manuals only specify DirectX compatible soundcard, but based on the era, that means awe32/awe64, sblive came later.]
Maybe someone else here could just load up the Project1999 / Takproject client and record them. idk. I'm working on ebay listings so I can get it done right.
Where did you read that the game was designed for the AWE32?
All speculation. Hopefully I hear back from Jay and I can do this all right.
