The SB Bug Stomper is the answer to buggy Sound Blaster cards that suffer from hanging notes.
Placed between the wavetable module and the Sound Blaster, it tracks all MIDI note events, including Note On and Note Off messages.
If it detects something out of the ordinary, it steps in and stops the stuck note — putting an end to those horrible, never-ending tones.

Prototype Test soon 😀

Nice idea! That would make those Vibra (pro) CT2502 based cards, like SB16 CT2940, real nice since you can't replace DSP on those.

Edit:
Sorry, I can't resist this. Two days ago I finished modding wavetable header for AWE64 CT4500 (it will be on my next video). That board to fix hanging notes would make a bit nicer lookin mod but more importantly possible to mod CT3600, another great CT2502 based card. I wouldn't even consider modding that one because of the MPU bugs but that board would change things. CT3600 would be like CT4500 but with real Yamaha OPL3 (but that requires a mod as well).
