FEATURES  /  SW70XG Exceptional Voices & Digital Effects The SW70XG offers huge selection- 4MB- of digitally sampled voices. (Most other sound cards have only 1MB.) They come from the award-winning Yamaha sound library and include many of the most realistic sounds ever created. Digital processors (DSP) reverb, echo, and distortion. 18-Bit D/A Converter 18-bit Digital-to-Analog converter (DAC), the computer industry's first! The DAC converts the digital data into analog output for your powered speakers. The more bits, the greater the dynamic range. A wider range means less noise, softer softs, and louder louds for crisp, exceptional sound. Downloadable RAM Speeds Up Your Game Play It gives you the capability to create your own voices or to stream digital audio into your sound card to free up computer memory. Your games or multimedia applications will run smoother and faster. Add Your Own Voice The SW70XG accepts a microphone input so you can sing right into your computer. You can also plug in acoustic instruments and a CD as well, then apply DSP effects to any of these inputs. With the mic and CD inputs and the SW70XG's Voice Cancel mode (which eliminates vocals from pre-recorded music) you can sing lead with your favorite recording. XG MIDI Format Complete control over voices and effects ensures full musical expression. The XG format, acclaimed by noted industry sound developers, meticulously controls every nuance of sound. Three characteristics promise to make XG the format of choice for computer music- compatibility, scalability, and expandability. SPECIFICATIONS  /  SW70XG Tone Generation Wave Table (Yamaha AWM2).
