That struck me as rather small though it's not dissimilar to Zen's other WMS tables which sound reasonable.  The originals aren't particularly large either but the music was clearly designed for playback on specific hardware, it would be great to hear how Zen approached this task but find it doubtful they'd be willing to disclose the full gory details.White Water's cymbals do sound particularly slushy but I can't decide whether it's a heavily compressed sample sourced from the original hardware or completely different instrumentation.  I'd have no objections to an increased audio budget if it reduces compression and improves sample quality so it more closely emulates the originals, even doubling it would only slightly increase the installation footprint.</blockquote>
