Rixasha, that's a hard question to answer without the games producer to do it for us. Now why on earth you would want to use Microsoft GS (even with stereo enabled) when there are so many better options is beyond me, but to each their own. You'll find that Microsoft GS does the ability to output stereo. You can always check to ensure your stereo output with many free music utilities like Audacity. On top of that, you can also disable stereo output of a soundfont without knowing you did and that leaves you with mono. I can understand why as loosing anything that adds spatial effects to sound and then comparing it to something else that offers that ability can make it seem that there is a loss of a channel. Vulchor, you may think that its mono because of the lack of effects. However, the samples are both highly compressed (which really makes them sound pretty bad compared to the Roland GS sound canvas they are taken from), and its missing all the effects that one would find on a real Roland SC unit. Whether you manage to kill him or you run away, you're deep into this labyrinth of maintenance corridors and it's in your mind now that another one of these things could be roaming in them with you.Windows default GS soundfont is not missing any samples, and does indeed support full stereo. he's big, strong, violent, and hard to kill the sight of him heightens your fear and makes your stomach drop his mind's been hijacked and only his simpler brain functions are running. In that rushing pool of panic and noise, there's a mutated henchman shuffling at the other end of the hall. This song has a melody (which, those synths totally give a feeling of mystery and slight unease btw) and rhythm, but the loud dnb drums can invoke this rapid, panicked movement that doesn't have time to stop and think (like how the engineering deck forces you to move through it quickly bc of the radiation leakages). I think there's so many horror games that paint into the genre with silence dripping with tension that we often don't take into consideration horror that stands in the backdrop of total disorder, panic, and noise
