Hi,

Maybe I am missing something, but do the SB Live and Audigy 1 & 2 all
only have 128 GM/GS sounds?! I mean, that's basically only standard
general midi sounds. Isn't the Emu chip on it not capable of creating
much more sounds to play with. I want to use this card to compose midi
music, but having only 128 standard sounds is rather limiting, unless
there is more?!..

PS: do SBLive, Audigy 1 & 2 all have the same synth on the card?

Anybody could please clarify this? Thanks!

Mike.
