Hi,
So I noticed something strange with SSF2T (and this game only as far as i've noticed).
SSF2T V1.6 for DOS
CD version run with MIDI option for music.
Midi being played via DreamBlaster X2 with the Buran sound bank, connected to an Aztech Sound Galaxy Nova 16 Extra 2.
When I normally start the game, the midi instruments seem to be messed up, particularly the drum part in the intro, it seems to have a 'finger slide' sound instead of drum hit.
I recorded a video, where the problem can be heard.

In this particular instance where I recorded, the startup intro music sounds correct, as far as I know (rare instance where it seems OK from the start, but normally it is wrong from the start) but the problem can be heard when I go back to the options screen, and then when I play that same piece of music.
Normal intro: https://youtu.be/hk4eYCj6TnA?t=16
Wrong sounds: https://youtu.be/hk4eYCj6TnA?t=67
This 'finger slide' sound shows up in many of the games music tracks after the intro, so it's not just that piece of music.
I have tried sending GM reset through gsplay before starting the game, and that doesn't help.
Also, a clean boot and going straight to the game also gets the problem.
I haven't figured out what specifically I might have done differently on the rare case the sounds were correct.
