New description:

 Hi, according to ZvikaZ, FluidSynth should be superior to other MIDI
 solutions in ScummVM. And when we use it on KQ6 it is! But when I play
 Hand of Fate on the same FluidSynth settings, MIDI music compared to
 DOSBox + VirtualMIDISynth 2.8.0 and FatBoy 0.788 SoundFont (in SETUP.EXE
 is chooes General Midi device for MIDI) is a little bit weird... Take a
 look to attached samples.

 EDIT: I've checked Loom EGA floppy disk version and FluidSynth has a major
 issue with generating some sounds in beginning Overture. I've checked two
 SounFonts (FatBoy 0.788 and Arachno SoundFont - Version 1.0.sf2). I'm
 attaching some recorded sound samples too.

 Best regards, Bart
