Came across this thread just now and figured I'd chime in on it.

I've been looking at getting back into making music and I also just recently pulled all of my old hardware out of storage (we moved into a house with more space, yaaaaaaaaay!!!). The thought of building out a dual-purpose machine is now tantalizing. One that will satisfy my retrogaming desires as well as something that will work as a DAW for old sound modules I"m looking to pick up.

Anyways...

Thought I'd throw in the Boss DS-330 as a capable GM module.

It's basically a Roland SC-33 with slightly fewer sounds in that wonderful tabletop package. I had one back in the mid-90's with my old Packard Bell Legend 2000 486 that we upgraded from an SX-25 to a DX-33 and brought it up to 8MB RAM. It was my primary synth back then but it was also my GM synth for games. I played EVERYTHING through that box. It really brought Tempest 2000 to life when compared to the sounds coming off of the craptastic SB16 clone Packard Bell included with the pc.
