Ooops! You're right. I found an old article on sound cards and the
reviewer mentioned that the card doesn't really have a synth; it was
wholly a function of the Windows drivers. Eeeew!

This card is actually a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz. Here is a snippet direct
from Turtle Beach's web site:
- MIDI Wavetable Synthesis:
- 8MB DLS synthesizer with scalable DSP/Host load sharing.
- Up to 64-voice hardware polyphony with more than 1,000 software voices
- (limited by host CPU.) MIDI controls reverb, chorus, volume, envelope,
- pitch shift, tremolo and vibrato.
None of that means anything in particular to me, but it certainly sounds
like it's got a synthesizer built-in.
Thanks again,
-Tim
