The Microsoft synthesizer uses simply a licensed ROLAND GS soundfont in form of a DLS file in your system directory.

This sounds like what might be happening in that first YouTube example, and funny enough it sounds "better" because of that.

But you should look for soundfont VSTi players, which are multitimbre for some reasons. That way it is very easy to spot differences. Why does this vid have a General MIDI Logo and shows a kbd, which is not even GM compatible? You will have to try for yourself. In other words, soundfonts contain "recordings" of instruments, including instruments that might be entirely synthesized in real-time on a hardware synth, which bloats the soundfont's file size and leads to inaccuracies.

I've never had issues with MIDIs played through FluidSynth in the vast majority of wads that I have played, and I like how it sounds with GZDoom's default soundfont most of the time. I, even the Mk.
