In this moment, only when Orphinit is ready we can change the jumper again and we will post on website drivers for windows9x. Now it works as an OrpheusI . This was a limited run of these cards. They are backwards compatible. Next cards will not have this feature. When software is ready, there will …

Hello! I tested the demo you showed, and it behaves exactly as you told. It's a CMI thing. Some coders, do strange code. Sometimes they give values that some hardware ignores and other just do something weird. This can be one of these cases. This happened before with other cards in other software/ …

I have one of these, It makes me very happy! You can't go better than this! I made a machine with SB CT1600, SB16 Ct2770, Gravis Ultrasound Classic and PCMIDI connected to this wonderful drawer! I will take pictures later! You should consider selling these.

In SB mode it will behave as sbpro, so no chance to make it work. Mixer will respond to SB commands. Maybe and yet to be tested, if a game supports wss and midi, it allows to do what you need.

Hello! FM and wave table are indeed tied. As they both are treated as "external synth". It's the way SB and crystal chip works. So when you change volume on synth, either Wavetable or FM volume change to the same value. As for analog output and digital output they are routed differently, so audio …

When I saw the length of the card and the SIMM slot location, my first thought was that it was an AWE clone... then my eyes moved down and saw the Interwave. Amazing work! How constrained is the supply for Interwave chips? I imagine between this project and the Argus, the remaining stock left in …

Hi! Glad you received it. Somehow these boards came a little thicker from factory. Unisound supports it, but you need to use CMI mixer to disable 3d sound.

These boards are good for people that have hot air solder station. If not you need solder wick to remove solder, it's easy.

Hello, Could you be more specific? What are you using to initialize the card? Orphinit or unisound? Could you post your orpheus.ini if using orphinit, or commands in unisound? Thanks!
