Creative Labs Vibra 16 playing DOS-Games Music (CQM-FM)

Hello Friends, the Vibra 16 is the low-budget variant of the famous Soundblaster 16. It features an internal OPL3 FM synthesizer clone called CQM which I demonstrate with the following games music: 00:00 Gabriel Knight 02:45 Tyrian 04:13 The Secret of Monkey Island 05:47 Amberstar The card has a low noise floor and a good sound quality in my opinion. Sadly creative does not add a wavetable-header so for General Midi music you need an external module. The Vibra was very common and therefore is available and cheap on the 2nd hand marked. Regarding the OPL3-clone, please let me know in the comments if you like it or not. For me it is a good alternative to the original - not as good as ESS FM but better than Crystal-FM.
