The sound of the SGM Pro 14 is noticeably improved again compared to the previous version.
All the new sounds in v14 are taken from the E-mu 8MB Soundfont.
after parameter optimization, they sound quite good.

The SGM ES8 Soundfont is based on E-mu 8MBGSFX/CT8MGM.sf2, with optimized parameters and balance, and improved sound quality,
unleash the full potential of the E-mu 8MB Soundfont.
Don't underestimate 8MB(64Mbit), it wasn't small in the early 90s!
