Most aren't no, but the thing with synth nerds is that if they want a specific sound, they'll dive through a flaming hoop wearing a barbed wire straitjacket to make it happen.

There are 100% a few people people fucking around with old ISA cards for musical purposes

    Why not just dump the Sound Fonts and use them in modern multitrack MIDI software?

    Sound fonts are effectively sample banks, a lot of earlier soundcards are basically full synthesisers just without a control panel or keys.

    There will be various elements of how the operators and effects work or any nonlinearity introduced by the circuits that will not necessarily be reflected in a sound font
