- Gee... just went to a local exhibition, here in the home of Creative
- technology.... to think the SB16 is out all over the world and Creative
- insists that all stocks are in the US and etc. and they dun have any for
- sale in Singapore.... YET. ! Geee...... talk about neglecting roots.
- Anyway.... saw this interesting new sound card by WEARNES..... it is a
- 8 bit sound card which is marketed in direct competition with the
- SBpro2. BUT.... it offers upgrade from daughtercards... to 16 bit
- sampling and playback.... MPU-401 compatible interface..... gee and all
- this for more then S$20 (US$1 = S$1.6) less then a pro2. One thing
- though.... this card is presently realsed only in Asia.... those
- overseas wun get it till next year....
- i took a listen to it and it seems quite impressive.... the sounds are
- not as noisy as my present Sbpro.... and the digitised speech from a WC
- demo seemed so much nicer then at home (mind u i connect my sbpro to a
- Hifi amp with BOSE AM-5 speakers.....and still dun get SOLID digitised
- speech).... but.... i dun know anything else about it.... the phamplet
- give out was rather brief.... Anyone out there seen this and care to
- comment ?
