Timbres of Heaven Enhanced MIDI Sampler

    The General MIDI music featured in many classic games can sound underwhelming without a fancy hardware synthesizer like the Roland Sound Canvas. To solve this problem, people have created

    virtual MIDI devices

    and software synthesizers (soundfonts) that make MIDI sound much more lifelike. Dave Allen's

    Timbres of Heaven

    is a very slick example. Last month, we

    reported

    that Timbres has a new version out and that it's well worth the effort to set it up. If you still need convincing, check out these fantastic samples that Forums members

    Goku

    and

    have created.
