If this sounds a little confusing, don't worry. "If you look at that early prototype versus what we have now, it's an entirely different game, but essentially the same experience you would have, just the level of quality and polishing and everything that we've been able to put into it is at a level that we couldn't have imagined back then." Personally, I've always hated the FM soundtrack in System Shock as it sounds way to harsh."The game that we're going to be launching soon, is the game that I think we were all dreaming of making, but that we didn't initially set out to make." Stephen Kick, co- founder of Nightdive Studios and co-director on System Shock. I'll have to give that a try in a few weeks and see if its better than the General Midi option. On top of that, I think the soundtrack was also tweaked for the AWE32's EMU8k default wavetable and many think that's the best version (well that's what I remember from back in the day). But I can say that the game sounds best to most people on General Midi (but using a Roland Sound Canvas), it also has the FM soundtrack tweaked for taking advantage of things like the Sound Blaster and compatibles. Rixasha, that's a hard question to answer without the games producer to do it for us. Now why on earth you would want to use Microsoft GS (even with stereo enabled) when there are so many better options is beyond me, but to each their own. You'll find that Microsoft GS does the ability to output stereo. You can always check to ensure your stereo output with many free music utilities like Audacity. On top of that, you can also disable stereo output of a soundfont without knowing you did and that leaves you with mono. I can understand why as loosing anything that adds spatial effects to sound and then comparing it to something else that offers that ability can make it seem that there is a loss of a channel. Vulchor, you may think that its mono because of the lack of effects. However, the samples are both highly compressed (which really makes them sound pretty bad compared to the Roland GS sound canvas they are taken from), and its missing all the effects that one would find on a real Roland SC unit. Windows default GS soundfont is not missing any samples, and does indeed support full stereo.
