NO,NO,NO,...it cannot. You'd have to get a Midi interface and hook up a good
keyboard or a Roland MT-32 sound module, or you could go the DSP route. The
Mac's sound is 4 voices and resembles more the PC's in stereo. Even there, thereare now excellent audio boards for the PC( such as the Roland MT32 one) which
are used by the software( Sierra for example) and in a few months a DSP based
|| attachment will ship for the PC's giving them sound capabilities which rival
those of the GS. Phone Advanced Gravis for more information( in Vancouver,
Canada).
