-There are three ways how to output music on X68000 - Built-in sound, Roland LA sound source, Roland GS sound source. The MT-32 MIDI synthesizer module, which was accepted as the industry standard for X68000, was introduced in 1987, the same year when the first X68000 came out. It used Linear Arithmetic synthesis to produce sound and saw several upgrades. The SC-55 General Standard module, which was introduced in 1991, supported LA through emulation which was not accurate and thus noticeably degraded music quality. However, there are some games that take advantage of GS enhanced capabilities.+There are three ways how to output music on X68000 - Built-in sound, Roland LA sound source, Roland GS sound source.

-A combination of the CM-32L with the sample-based CM-32P, features a Memory card slot for ROM cards with PCM data. The CM-32P part plays on MIDI channels 11-16 which are not used by the CM-32L part. There were a total of 15 PCM ROM cards and Gemini Wing takes advantage of SN-U110-07 or SN-U110-10.+A combination of the CM-32L with the sample-based CM-32P, features a Memory card slot for ROM cards with PCM data.
