Yeah, any of those long filter/frequency sweep sounds are hard to do
with samples. You could do it with a low-rate sample (maybe switch the
6295 to 8KHz mode with an I/O line), but you'd probably get pops on the
loop point since you have to tell the 6295 to "play" the sample over and
over at the right rate.
Still though, I agree-- if I could have the vast majority of sounds for
a multigame with a single ~$30 card I'd probably be willing to overlook
any little "inaccuracies". ;-) I might try to get a quote on the
6295...
