Once you attach the DB50XG, you're ready to go. You don't even need to install any software. Extensive Compatability Upgrades your current sound card from FM to wavetable synthesis, a technology that produces drastically improved sound. Wavetable synthesis is the basis of virtually every professional music synthesizer. The DB50XG is compatible with the industry standard: General MIDI (GM).
