If it is not compatible, it needs a different compatible.

It gets interesting with something you synthesizer, something where
there are a number of different synthesise options. How do you define
compatible? You might want a very specific compatible, for your
synthesise configuration, and a more generic compatible which might
work for other synthesise configurations, but maybe not?
