You have done a great job with the recordings. I really like it. All devices are great. I wonder how is the music on sierra on line adventure games that support general midi like Police Quest 4, Gabriel Knight, Space Quest 5 etc. on devices like Korg, Yamaha and Kawai.

I remember when i bought back to 90s the cd version of Loom. Everything was coming from the cd. The music, the speech. It was so nice. On the other hand i was disappointed with the cd version of the Secret of Monkey Island because there wasn't any speech. Great cd audio quality but only music.
