INTRODUCTION
•
Includes two and four megabyte General MIDI/ Roland MT-32
sound sets as well as AdLib/SoundBlaster Pro and FM synthe-
sizer emulation.
•
Because of the high data transfer rates that the PCI bus will al-
low, HOT-255 is able to utilize a flexible method of storing and
accessing wavetable sounds. All 128 General MIDI instrument
sounds are stored on the PC’s hard drive and accessed using the
computer’s on-board RAM. This technology allows for expand-
able sound sets.
Digital Audio
•
Allows the recording of CD-quality stereo sound (up to 16 bits,
48.0 kHz sampling rate) from Aux, CD and TV Tuner Inputs as
well as from the internal synthesizer.
•
Allows the recording of sound from the Mic Input with or with-
out 5-volt BIAS power or 30-dB boost.
•
Allows the recording of sound from the Modem/TAD Input/Out-
put.
•
Playback of stereo wave samples of 8- or 16-bit sound.

•
Provides an MPU-401 compatible MIDI interface, including
MIDI In and MIDI Out/Thru (requires external cable, not sup-
plied).
•
Allows the recording of MIDI events from an external MIDI key-
board controller.
•
Enables playback of standard PC MIDI files (i.e., .MID, .ROL,
etc.) to either the on-board synthesizer or to an external synthe-
sizer.
Mixer
Provided software mixer allows synthesizer and digital audio output to be
mixed with signal arriving at the card’s CD, Aux, Mic, Modem and TV
Tuner Inputs.
