Has anyone here had any experience in using more 'professional' type MIDI modules for DOS games?
Things like the Roland JV880 / 1080 and 2080 or the Yamaha MU90 / MU100.
I'm specifically more interested in the Roland JV1080/2080, as these appear to be quite high end, but prices seem to be more reasonable than, say the SC88/Pro for example.
There are some examples of the JV-1080 in games on youtube, by user "raymangold22" (http://www.youtube.com/user/raymangold22?feature=watch) and they sound really nice - the samples are much better than my SC55mk2 or XR385, for example.
But this type of kit has memory cards, plug-in modules of additional samples etc, so I don't know if you would have to fully kit one out with lots of addons to get decent GM playback.
