As the name implies, the MIDI Blaster plays MIDI file albums from floppy disks. About 100 SoundFonts come preloaded on the device and they can be changed on the fly. For those unfamiliar with SoundFonts, they contain recordings of instruments and other sounds that are played as instructed by a MIDI file. So by changing the SoundFont, the entire feel of a song can be altered.
