I haven't used any of them, but am also curious.

Just for general information, what do you consider poor ?
8 bits at some random sampling rate do not a compact disc emulate.
8 bits at some random sampling rate do even a random cassette ".
Are you producing sounds for games (music anf fx) or samples to
be sent to a synthesizer ?
Or do you want to make an audio workstation ?

OBTW, has anyone used Synthia-Pro ? Comments ? It claims to generate
16-bit samples for use by real synthesizers. I am unsure if they can
be previewed properly on Amy.
