Please have a look at my "why-i-want-a-hardware-midi-sythesizer"-page:
http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/soundtest/soundtest.html
There you'll find 3 files:
1. example2.mid - The MIDI source
2. example2hardware.mp3 - produced by my AWE64 sound card with
with soundfont 8mbgmsfx.sf2
3. The same produced with
timidity -s 44100 -Ow1Ml -o example2timid.wav example2.mid
unsing the so-called EAW patchess wich are known as the
best GUS patches fir timidity
The 2. sounds like a real playing bigband. The 3. like
an orchestra in a stock pot.

I tried this. This is still worse than TiMidity. The strings sound like
a guitar (because the don't sustain the notes) and the drums are removed.(?)

Please have a look at the page above!
