Hello all! I've got a problem with es1688+es968+qs700: esfm work well 220/5/1/330, but onboard wavetable doesn't work by any settings\jumpers configuration, also dosn't work external wavetable. I'm think - that needed software activation programm (or card is dead). Does somebody have an expirience …

I don't think there's a dump of that for this project? The AWE64 Gold's GAL makes it possible to have the onboard 4MB and expand that with the plug-in boards. This project avoids that by using one of the AWE64 Value cards along with so much RAM that it doesn't matter. I've got an AWE64 Gold with a …

Before suspecting the hardware, take a detailed look at your ESSVOL.EXE parameters. Specifically, check whether the "A" parameter is set to higher than zero. The ES1688 has an Aux channel, but the ES688 does not. you mean - check the signal gp1 on the chip and WT header? Just to be clear, I'm …

appiah4 - are you sure that yours es688 play MIDIs through MPU port 300 or 330? Maybe you hear esfm by 220 port? Im doubt because a lot of people tell me, that es688 do not have native MPU support and no one cants use doughterboards. One more - if im wrong - send me please drivers with TSR. Thank …

At this point, my guess is that QDSP QS700 wavetable cards are always implemented with a micro-controller and initialization code in a ROM chip, so an external init utility does not exist for them because it is not needed . If I am right, this would point to your card being defective or, if very …
