(For example, 'Effect 1 Depth' is usually reverb, but not always.) But even those things with a defined meaning are 'defined' in the loosest sense of the word. Most controls have a defined meaning, though some (named things like 'General Purpose' and 'Effect 1 Depth') do not, and control different things on different synthesizers. They control things like volume, panning, reverb, pitch bend sensitivity, tuning, synthesizer parameters, etc. Though clearly FluidSynth is partly to blame, as the beginning notes aren't even in tune with each other in that rendering. (SC-55 II) I think the difference here is stark. Same comparison, only for Descent 2: (FatBoy/FluidSynth) It's possible – maybe even likely – that these differences are more due to FluidSynth not interpreting all controls and RPNs identically to the SC-88. At 60 s in, the synth that enters is too loud in the FatBoy rendering.

40 s in, when there's just the bass vamp, the SC-88 rendering is far superior in my opinion. There are definitely nuances missing e.g. It's good, but compare to a rendering from an actual SC-88: (not my rendering, though I do own an SC-88)

(Its samples formed the basis of the wavetable synth shipped with Windows 95.) I rendered here the Descent 1 title theme using FatBoy via FluidSynth: The soundtrack of Descent 1 was composed on a Roland SC-88 (or a sister model), which was the 'gold standard' Midi hardware module of the era. So I don’t know who actually picks the instruments that the orchestra will use. > The primary duties of the conductor are to interpret the score in a way which reflects the specific indications in that score, set the tempo, ensure correct entries by ensemble members, and 'shape' the phrasing where appropriate. I don’t know whether it is actually the role of the conductor to pick instruments. Someone who knows about orchestra music and performance correct me if you think what I said was off base. It’s kind of like we get to listen to new interpretations of the music, where the sheet music remains the same but the conductor has told the orchestra to perform it different in terms of instruments used. And with different sound fonts like the original vs the FatBoy sample posted on the site and ITT there was always something fun about the idea that music directors were practically composing symphonies to be played by individual orchestras on each user's machine
