I >know how they should sound cause I run them with Win95 Media Player, but Either you have some fancy wavetable card like an AWE (wait until George Foot finishes his AWE driver) or a GUS (wait until Tero finishes his GUS driver), or you are just being fussy about differences in the instrument sets. Don't despair, though: because Jorrit Rouwe has been working on a set of patches that are a lot closer to the normal Windows ones, which will be in the next release. You should be aware that the sound of each instrument can vary a lot from one card to another even within Windows, though, so when you say they sound 'right' in the Media Player, there's a very good chance that given a different card or driver, Windows would also play them totally differently. -- Shawn Hargreaves - shawn AT talula DOT demon DOT co DOT uk - http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/ Beauty is a French phonetic corruption of a short cloth neck ornament.
