I was about eds give up and put the SB16 back in when I noticed this humble looking card, pulled from a junked Socket 7 machine at some time in the past and kept because it had a wavetable header: It seems to give popping noises on anything other than a Sound Blaster. This card is SB Pro compatible and sounds fantastic, very clean and crisp.
This chip was also used in a few arcade games, notably Atari 's Wolf Packand Stern Electronics ' Berzerk and Frenzyand in several of Stern 's pinball machines. Google [Bot]m and 8 guests.

The company was created at least partially as a way to market Mozer's speech synthesis system described in US patents 4,, 4, and 4, after his 3-year, summer to summerextended contract with National Semiconductor expired in or so.
With ESS-speech, samples that would normally require almost all of the 64 kilobyte memory of the Commodore 64 if encoded in PCM were so small, that the entire game fit into the RAM along with speech, without requiring additional loads from disk.
Retrieved from " https: Although Sensory bought up the Texas Instruments ' speech products, their main focus has been on speech recognition, and not synthesis. Setup was easy enough and the Sound Blaster Pro compatibility seemed to be good, but it sounded like my speakers had been immersed in water. Return to General Old Hardware. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Each behaved slightly differently with regard to WSS resources and I only managed to get the YMF to behave consistently, but not without a struggle, and even then the mixer settings were so far out of whack that - as always - I yanked the card out and swore to never touch one again.

Then again Wolf3D does this even on a SB. The advanced compression algorithm patented, an early form of psychoacoustic compression using similar spectra of ADPCM-encoded waves reduced the memory footprint of speech about a hundredfold, so one second of audil would require 90 to bytes. Also the wavetable header could not be configured to a useable port number this is done via jumpersthe lowest available was port !
There was a certain ESS card I tried ausio didn't like because it could only play a couple of sounds at a time, or would play the first half of a sound and cut off the rest.
It must have been late Professor Mozer's technique not only produced very realistic sounding speech, it also required very little on-chip later, in software RAMa sparse and expensive commodity at that time.
Perhaps this is Windows only option via the generic WSS 2. The DOS software — which can be found on Vogon Drivers — is bare bones but is easy to use and powerful.
After a three-year exclusive deal with Telesensory Systems from toForrest Mozer sold a 3-year license to National Semiconductorand they created another chip using Mozer synthesis, the MM "Digitalker".

I tried 3 of these things, a YMF,and EXE is likewise easy to use, and allowed me to set the MIDI and CD volumes both muted by defaultand the volume levels were perfect first time which is a rare thing in my experience. I forget which one it was. The DOS mixer software turned me off those cards however, and some minor incompatibilities with older games.
