"specialmagic", MIDI song I made today using my best friend @imrlyrobyn 's E-Mu Sound Engine, an obscure General MIDI sound module from the early 90s, made with Rosegarden MIDI sequencer for linux #midi#music#original#retro#rosegarden#special

Yeah! E-Mu had lots of talented sound designers and a really good library of sounds to draw from, afaik many/most of the sounds on the Sound Engine came from their Proteus professional synth.
As you've been reading up about also, E-Mu worked with Creative and was eventually acquired by them, so their sounds and technology were incorporated into the various later models of Sound Blaster card, which is really cool! I also really love the AWE32/64, and also the later SB Live and Audigy
@dusthillperson i'm stunned that the Proteus was so long-lived in terms of its patches and technology. i think i first heard some of its sounds in Myst
