I agree. The CM-32L has the best overall compatibility, while early games were composed on a first gen. MT-32. I have a CM-32L, but I use to mainly for recording purposes, it has a low noise floor. A CM-64 is good enough for me to play games.

Says the bloke who has 3x MT-32s (2 old and 1 new), an MT-100, 2x CM-64s, a CM-500, a CM-32L, an SC-55, an SC-55mkII and an SC-88ST.  Grin

I'm currently stuck at the "low-end" if you want so.

Favorite of the cards I have would be the SCB-55/SCD-15G on a Soundblaster 16 MCD.

Other notable MIDI capable cards I own would be the following:
- IBM MFC
- Ensoniq SoundScape
- Terratec ESW64 XL / Guillemot MaxiSound 64 (Dream based)
- Various incarnations of the Gravis Ultrasound (MAX/ACE/Clones)
- Logitech SoundMan Wave (OPL4 based)
- last AND least, an AWE64

I bought an Ensoniq MR Rack (yep it is General Midi compatible)... great sounds but is a bit crap on playing midi music, maybe an updated bios solves that? Does anybody have the version 1.53 eproms?

I tried to contact thesoniq but my email bounces back, i will check out that yahoo link.

Latest midi device is Korg Triton-Rack... it has fairly good GM sounds.

"Korg NS5R" and "Alesis Quadrasynth S4 Plus".

NS5R can be fitted with a waveblaster card, i put my Yamaha DB50XG in it. Unfortunatly so does NS5R seem to filter away XG sysex and therefor DB50XG cant play XG midis properly Angry (could be me who missed some setup though)
