If it was the same thing as the Multisound, would it be exclusive? I tought
so. It is the lower grade unit that is on the wave blaster.

You must be joking? The DOC II is a better synth chip that the EMU. Also,
the most important point in getting a good sound reproduction is the DAC.
On the multisound you have a 1 bit sigma delta with 64x oversampling DAC.
On the GUS it is a 16 bit dac and on the wave blaster it uses the DAC on
the SB16ASP which has a lower S/N ratio than the GUS.

Why would anyone want to do that?
