<![CDATA[What if the Amiga sounded better]]>Back in 1985 when the Amiga came out the Paula sound chip was not totally groundbreaking, but better than most of its competitors. It supported four channel stereo PCM playback. This could be used with sampled instruments to get a relatively natural sound. However there were many limitations, many of which due to the software not utilising the Paula to its fullest. Two years later, when the A500 came out, Roland released the MT-32. A consumer grade synthesizer module that was used relatively widely in the MS DOS gaming world, spearheaded by Sierra On-Line. It is a little known fact that you can use the MT-32 also on the Amiga with Sierra adventures such as King’s Quest, Space Quest or Larry. Does the Amiga sound better with the MT-32?
