-
- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-
-
- Welcome to SBStudio II!
-
- SBStudio II is a complete music program for the Gravis
- UltraSound and SoundBlaster sound cards.
-
- SBStudio II gives you 4-16 channels of 8/16 bit audio
- to play with, an advanced sample editor, sound card
- mixer control, sampler, MIDI IN and OUT, ability to
- load and save Amiga .MOD files, GUS .PAT support and
- much more.
-
-
-
- »Requirements»
- ────────────
-
- CPU:
-
- - 386SX or better.
-
- RAM:
-
- - 420k free CONVENTIONAL memory.
- - 840k free EXTENDED memory.
-
- If you are using a memory manager with UMB support,
- you may load a part of SBStudio high with the "LH"
- command. This requires about 50k of continous upper
- memory, and will save the same amount of conventional
- memory.
-
- VIDEO:
-
- - MCGA/VGA graphics system.
-
- MISC:
-
- - A mouse + mouse driver software.
-
-
-
- »Sound hardware supported»
- ────────────────────────
-
- SBStudio supports, and is tested with, the following
- sound cards:
-
- - Gravis UltraSound
- (Tested up to v3.7 and GUS MAX)
-
- - SoundBlaster 16
-
- - SoundBlaster PRO
-
- - SoundBlaster 2.0
-
- I do not guarantee that SBStudio will work with any
- so-called 'SoundBlaster compatible' cards.
-
-
-
- »Incompatibilities»
- ─────────────────
-
- SBStudio II has very few known compatibility problems.
- However, more problems are bound to arise, since i
- don't have all possible configurations available.
-
- If you find any bugs or incompatibilities that are not
- covered here or in the part 'Questions and answers',
- please contact me.
-
-
- Here are the known ones:
-
- - SOUNDBLASTER:
- BPM tempo changes delay the sound output on
- SoundBlaster cards a bit, because the sound buffer
- length has to be changed. This is because of the
- SoundBlaster architecture, it is NOT a bug.
-
- - SOUNDBLASTER:
- Strange things happen if you run SBStudio with
- SoundBlaster sound while running a newer version of
- QEMM (v6.00 > ?). I don't know who is to blame,
- but I'll be working on it.
