Tech Notes:
Advanteges of PCI audio:
PCI audio keeps your audio stream off of the
ISA bus, which means that for each sound played, your computer spends less time waiting
for the ISA bus to clear. What this means for you is that in applications which require a
lot of sound playback (like games), your computer will run smoother.
The second benifit is that when setting up these devices, the Plug and Play
features of Windows 95 and most new BIOSs have an easier time resolving conflicts
involving PCI PnP devices.
A final benifit of PCI vs ISA audio is that mainboards today are designed
with fewer ISA slots and more PCI slots. If this trend continues, we may soon see the end
of the ISA device.
WaveTable
Wave Table is a revolution in the methods of
using MIDI to recreate music. Original MIDI used the Attack Decay Sustain Release method
of creating sound. While impressive at the time, it was hard to make anyone believe MIDI
music sounded like real music.
Wave Table is a method of using recordings of different instruments playing
different notes to create a table of waveforms. When a MIDI player requests a note of an
instrument, it is played from this table, creating a more realistic sounding musical
score.
