Would you believe, I actually have one of those DB50XG cards, though I had other plans for it, also one on eBay right now, for pretty cheap.
Finding a new one is likely to be impossible today, however, I suspect that the wavetable synthesis on more recent PCI cards can match the XG anyway, so for PCI equipped people that is probably the way forward. |

Thanks DDNI, i have found my christmas project.
and after a little sourcing:- about 80 euros http://fr.audiofanzine.com/produits/...uit,12323.html about 60 dollars http://www.music123.com/Yamaha-Yamah...-i223573.music for about £5 (if it could be moddified!) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sound-Card-Wav...QQcmdZViewItem // some xg clone wave table modules http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Wu-Ming-Shop-C...QQcmdZViewItem personally i have always wanted a good Korg http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Wu-Ming-Shop-K...QQcmdZViewItem I am somewhat tempted with this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Wu-Ming-Shop-E...QQcmdZViewItem other links for interest. its been done before by those nice germans http://www.compuzik.de/DB50XG.html heres the ST version (not bad links on this one) http://atari.nvg.org/db50xg/ pc programming and bank loading http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/M...s/XG_Gold.html and not all waveblasters are computer products!! http://www.tayna.co.uk/item/3389/0/Y...otorc_prod.htm (serves you right for being a link hungry whore) Last edited by Zetr0; 09 August 2006 at 15:48. |

I am also interested in seeing if one could (*adapt*) an old isa card(s) that has the wave table on them as well. Last edited by Zetr0; 09 August 2006 at 16:08. |

Heys my friend, just a little update... I bought a KORG tinity synth wavetable card.
Specs are almost the same as the DB50XG 4MB of GM/XG (compressed) has 32 timbers (NICE!) comes with 540+ instuments/voices (preloaded) full DSP effects *echo *chorus *Vibrato etc. i got it for 25£ from ebay in the end.. i will keep you posted to let you know if it can be *modified* or in atleast a minor substitution for the yamaha. |

indeed.... indeed... i was just thinking that if this project can run directly with standard wavetable cards imma sure that a comercial ready to plug in kit could be made available...
another interesting idea is converting the amiga audio out into a digial source and then plumbing it through the dsp for use with all its feautures feature. hmmm i wonder if i could get it to load instruments to the wavecard via serial or even parallel... hmmm... might need to make it also external power... you know... i am a little excited... (and contrary to bippym's sugestion, its not sexually either...) |

a YAMAHA DB60XG , made by NEC under licence... this has extra an analogue input, that is the difference with the DB50XG.... Last edited by keropi; 22 August 2006 at 20:47. |
