NEW EDIT on August 2nd 2023:
----
While it may seem that Second Reality tunes show a pitch difference between the PicoGUS (too high pitched) and the SB16 (lower pitched in comparison), @ianpolpo showed how there is virtually no difference between a PicoGUS and a real Gravis UltraSound:
Meaning, the PicoGUS is fine and only the Sound Blaster render of Second Reality is *wrong* by being too low pitched!

I ordered the parts (PCB electronic components) and self-assembled this PicoGUS project, which emulates primarly a Gravis UltraSound card through the usage of a rp2040 (pi pico).
