Just a note, there is a way to finagle the original 3 voice Mockingboard version out of the PC version from GOG with the upgrade patch. It requires you to emulate the Tandy 1000 sound chip, which was also a 3 voice chip. This requires some custom drivers you can find online and finagling around the SETM utility to use them. With that, you can ditch the ear-grating MIDI renditions and return to the 3-voice original. Sadly the same cannot apply to Ultima 5 since that used dual Mockingboards, so it needs 6 voices.
Ken Arnold did a fantastic job here! For the first time right on point! 👌
one word, amazing

Yep
Best version for sure
Pretty good version of an amazing song, but the .sid version for the C64/128 was better.
