- Hail People!
-
- At long last, the Sound Blaster 16 ASP hast been released in it's home
- country, Singapore! Cost is S$498 (about US$300-350). But now, I'm a
- little uncertain as to what to do, for the MIDI Blaster is touted for
- release early next year. This wilt allow playback of General MIDI format
- sound, so 'twould be nearly as good as the Roland SCC-1. The Wave Blaster
- daughterboard for SB16 will also allow this. The question now is: should
- I get the SB16, then the Wave Blaster? or wait for the MIDI Blaster and
- connect that to my current SB Pro? or get SB16 and then the MIDI Blaster?
- Any advice anyone? Also, dost anyone have a more specific date as to when
- the MIDI Blaster wilt be released?
