Roland SC-55 vs DreamBlaster X2GS (Transport Tycoon Deluxe Theme)

This is a short comparison of Transport Tycoon Deluxe (DOS) General Midi intro music playing on a Roland SC-155 (desktop version of the SC-55) and a DreamBlaster X2GS with its built in Roland sound bank, as well as the Buran version.
Which do you prefer?
Again, to me DreamBlaster is very close to the SC-55, maybe just lacking that warmer sound. Buran preset is quite different, but I actually prefer it with this game!
For the presets on the X2GS I'm using GS_EFFECTS_APPIAH4_v4_5 on the default Sound Bank, and Phils Computer Lab preset for Buran.
I captured the audio and video from my retro Windows 98 PC using an OSSC and capture card. My SC-155 is hooked up to a PCI based Yamaha sound card using the game port.

Thanks for the video, yes I also think the Buran bank shines in this track !

SC-55 has been boxed away for now :)

он одинаково на всем звучит

"it sounds the same on everything" This is kind of the point, DreamBlaster is a great budget alternative to the SC-55 ;)

Sc-55 is still the boss, but the dream gs kit comes close.

Yeah it’s a great option with much lower barrier to entry.
