ULTRASOUND MAX FEATURES:
-----------------------
32-Voice Wavetable Synthesis
The UltraSound MAX also supports up to 32 digital and/or
synthesized
voices for richer sound effects and quality.
CD-Quality Sound
The UltraSound MAX delivers true CD-quality sound by producing
distortion-free 16 bit, 44.1 kHz music and sound effects.
Instrument Patches
The UltraSound MAX ships with a RAM (random access memory) based
General MIDI patch set of 192 instruments. You can edit or replace
existing instrument patches, or you can create your own!
Compression
The UltraSound MAX has built in hardware compression; it supports
16-bit 4:1 ADPCM, A-LAW and u-LAW.
CD-ROM Interface
UltraSound MAX has connectors for single or double speed Mitsumi
(LU005, FX001), Sony (CDU-31A, CDU-33A) or Panasonic (523,562,563)
and
compatible CD-ROM drives.
Supports Windows(tm) '95, Windows(tm) 3.1, Sound Blaster(tm),
General MIDI, MT-32 and Microsoft Sound System(tm) Applications.
Multimedia
----------
The UltraSound MAX is MPC Level 2 compliant and supports Windows,
MIDI,
WAV, and AVI files.
Game Compatibility
------------------
More than 90% of current game title releases include native
UltraSound
support. UltraSound MAX supports older technologies like Sound
Blaster
and Adlib through software, and software patches are available for
many
games to add UltraSound support. A few older games, however, will
not
provide sound with UltraSound MAX.
Gaming Environment
------------------
UltraSound MAX's joystick port supports any speed PC, and provides
precise CPU speed compensation without affecting the performance of
games and simulations.
Onboard RAM

UltraSound MAX ships with 512K of ram and can be upgrade to 1MB
using a
fast page mode 256K x 16 DRAM chip.
