- Hi,
-
- I am a songwriter and I was thinking about buying a synth or sound
- module (like Roland JV 80 or Yamaha TG500) but then I only need the sounds
- (samples) and I am not likely to mess around with the parameters too much.
- I've used a korg M1 and an Ensoniq SQ1+ and they sound fine.
-
- So to the question : Can I buy a soundcard which sound as good as
- any of the workstation/keyboards above ??? I want it to write the backing
- music for songs, so good drums, bass and probably piano/strings/brass etc
- are required. probably need about 20 'ish note polyphony.
-
- I've got a 386DX 40Mhz IBM compatible PC. Thanks for any help,
-

- There is a news group dedicated to sound cards. I read it for about a week
- from that sample, there doesn't seem to be anything out there for you. The
- (or one of the) best sounding cards, Turtle Beach, is probably equivolent to
- what you have (maybe below). Most of the others use 4 mod synthesizers.
- I don't think that drums are included. Anyway, if you want to start looking
- Turtle Beach sound card (~$600) may be a place to start.
