Can someone explain the benefits of this setup described on queststudios site? Why would one need all three -- I thought the Goldfinch card and the MIDI DB's accomplish the same tasks.

Will pay $$$ for:

caching ISA I/O-IDE controller

PM me for my list of trade-ables...

I thoutght the goldfinch card just upgraded sb16 to awe32. That will play midi by loading soundfonts.

A daughterboard is in effect a hard coded sound font, and the sounds on it will be different from soundfonts available to load on the goldfinch. I don't suppose you can get an XG soundfont, so you can't make a goldfinch do what a db50xg can.

Just gives you a wider range of midi sounds.
