Yamaha didn't have the SoftSynth for the Amiga, but I tried it on a PC at college, and it didn't seem as good as the box I wound up buying. It's a fantastic little thing - the digital effects processing is incredible; I can make the electric guitar sound like something Joe Satriani would be happy playing. I have an XG-MIDI file that contains a rendition of "Voodoo Child", and it is absolutely incredible to listen to. obascii: _____ ______________ '. `. .' .......... | `. `. .' .::::::::::: | `. `. .' .::::""""""""' | `. `.' .::::' | : ::::: ::::::: | .' .
