"This is a video review of the DreamBlaster X2, a brand new wavetable General MIDI synthesizer board for classic sound cards like the Sound Blaster, ESS Audio Drive and many others.
This device has lots of features, the USB interface allows software customisation, uploading of sound fonts and doubles as a USB MIDI interface, turning the X2 into an stand-alone MIDI module.
We will check out the product, I walk you through the supplied software, the preset editor, the upload tool and how to use everything.
At the end of the video are some sound recordings of classic DOS games:
12:27 Duke Nukem 3D
13:28 Settlers II
14:40 Doom II
18:27 Descent
20:58 System Shock
23:06 Legend of Kyrandia: Hand of Fate
24:12 Wing Commander: Privateer"
