 RF> As to music daughterboards, what about Yamaha's 
 RF> DB50XG?  I hear that's
 RF> supposed to be a good card.
 LJ> I have one on the AWE32 at the office.  The GM patch set is not good, 
IMHO
 LJ> - too many sounds that are inconsistent in volume (guitars, especially).
 LJ> However, the sounds that you can access via the XG command set are good.
 LJ> One thing I don't like is the bottom part of the standard drum set.
 LJ> Instead of being identical to the ones used by Roland, Creative Labs,
 LJ> Gravis, and just about everyone else, they made one rather irritating
 LJ> change:  their Stick Click is swapped with a Rim Click.  Why!!!!!????

 RF> It's supposed to be a hot card, although you can't use it with
