I can imagine it's great having a good GM set for those wanting to play midi files, but from what I've heard over the years, midi files generally sound pretty cheap and nasty and are mostly programmed with incorrect notes etc. It's no good having Gigabytes of GM sounds if the midi file you want to play has been programmed badly. No matter how good a sound set you have, badly programmed midi files will still sound dreadful.
I don't want to get into a GM debate on here, but can you peeps tell me what you use your GM sets for and why you would want huge Gigabytes of data for them?
The songs I program for other people I do in sequencing packages so obviously they are midi notes at the end of the day that have been recorded, I do not however use any GM sound sets for my voices.
It's nice how everyone differs when playing and recording with technology so do people wanting good GM sets on here only use them for playback of midi files?
