SoundWave 32 User's Manual
The SoundWave 32
is an advanced DSP-based
(Digital Signal Processor) multimedia sound card.
SoundWave 32 supports several sound and multime-
dia standards—SoundBlaster, Microsoft Sound Sys-
tem, General MIDI, AdLib, Roland MPU-401 inter-
face and Roland MT-32. The unique ability to com-
bine various sound and multimedia formats enables
the SoundWave 32 to be configured to produce the
best balance between sound quality and features for
your personal computer.
For realistic sounds, the SoundWave 32 has two
megabytes of high-quality sound samples on-board.
These samples can be used by games or multimedia
applications under the General MIDI specification. In
addition, 16-bit stereo audio and ADPCM compres-
sion allow you to record high-quality sounds directly
to the hard disk.
The SoundWave 32 is based upon the Analog Devices
ADSP2115 DSP. This advanced chip can process over
20 million instructions per second (20 MIPS), en-
abling the SoundWave 32 to accurately emulate a
wide number of sound and synthesizer architectures,
including Yamaha's OPL synthesizers and the Roland
MT-32 sound module. Some games are developed on
these platforms. The SoundWave 32's flexible archi-
tecture provides the ability to switch between sound
standards and to update to new sound standards
without additional hardware.
In addition, the SoundWave 32 features dual CD-
ROM interfaces for Sony and Mitsumi compatible
CD-ROM drives. SoundWave 32 also comes with
several application programs for Windows 3.1 and
DOS—all for your enjoyment.
