I haven't tried out the AWE64 (I have a SB16), but I highly recommend
TiMidity. It is *excellent*! It can also handle (up to 48-voice?)
polyphonic music very well, especially if you have a fast machine. On my
Cyrix P166+ with 32MB, it plays the MIDI file without interruption unless
I'm doing too many CPU- and disk-intensive stuff. ^_^ Sound quality?
Excellent! ^_^ The patch files included in the Debian TiMidity packages
are quite quite good. <smile>
