What synth was Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny written for? The intro music plays all wrong on my Yamaha MU-50; it does play more accurately on my SC-55 but is missing a lot of instruments.

On certain parts with the Yamaha it sounds like someone is just leaning on the keyboard. With a SC-55, you can make out the notes during these parts but the missing instruments ruin it.

Is this an MT-32 game?

Yes, the box says "Roland LAPC-I/MT-32" and it really sounds great on the LAPC-I I use... not sure if it uses any of the extra sfx though

🤣
Running this game on GM synths also has been mistaken for the infamous "hanging note bug".
It's MT-32 with default instruments AFAIK, so it should sound about right on the SC-55 with the MT-32 patches loaded.
