I need help identifying a wavetable card I recently received. Already tried looking at wabeblaster.nl, wavetable.nl, searching for SAM9733, and even a reverse-image search.

Its stats are:

  • Dream SAM9733
  • Unknown ROM chip by "Usound", uses the same 44-pin package as official CleanWave32 and CleanWave8 chips
  • 32K x 8 SRAM
  • I2S DAC

While there are several wavetable cards that use the SAM9733 (e.g. Cancun FX, Yucatan FX, Diamond Monster MIDI), the closest is the Miditemp DS-48 because that's only one with only 32KB SRAM instead of the more common 64KB.

Since there are no obvious markings beyond what's on the chips, my uneducated guess is that it was taken from a "Music Machine" of some sort, like a Karaoke box or Karaoke terminal or maybe even some sort of gaming system - not an arcade game, but something like a slot machine or other such devices - found in Asia or elsewhere. Such devices would use generic low-end mass-manufactured wavetable cards like that.
