[. . . ] This TerraTec Producer wavetable board lets you make the most of your sound card--500 additional sounds in professional audio quality, sorted according to GM and XG modes, open a whole new range of possibilities for both musicians and gamers. The board features 16MB of memory for instant access without latency, conserving your PC memory. Up to 128 voices are available simultaneously--more than enough for full orchestral arrangements as well as current electro and rock sounds. With regard to sounds--over 500 additional sounds leave nothing to be desired. Sophisticated electronic sounds, ten complete drum kits and an on-board SFX kit are available in addition to the full range of orchestral and additional acoustic instruments, all carefully digitized from actual instruments and burned onto the ROM of the WAVE XTABLE. Just a few simple steps will turn your sound card into a high-performance audio source. Compatibility is assured, as the sounds of the WAVE XTABLE are fully compliant with the major MIDI standards GM and XG. Scope of delivery.

This is important for support and hotline services. WAVE XTABLE (English) 5 Installation Please do not rush the installation, even though it can be completed relatively quickly and easily. As with any installation or modification work on an open PC, hurrying or carelessness may lead to malfunctions, or in the worst case, irreparable hardware damage. Simply relax and take it one step at a time: Shut your PC down, but do not unplug the power cable--that will ensure that the computer is grounded. Flying sparks may be exciting in interpersonal relationships, but they can be deadly for computer hardware. Before touching any PC components, you should therefore touch the metal plate on the back of your PC's case to discharge any static electricity that may have built up. Under the most favorable circumstances--if the slots next to the sound card are empty--you could theoretically insert the wavetable board in its slot without removing the sound card from your computer. When applied to the PCI slot, the gentle pressure of inserting the card may in the worst case result in hairline cracks on your mainboard. Carefully remove the WAVE XTABLE from its packaging and pick it up by the edges with one hand while your other hand is touching a metal part of the PC. This will ensure that any static charge your body may have can be discharged via the PC without damaging any components. Carefully pick up the WAVE XTABLE by the edges and press it into the 24-pin slot on your sound card. It should fit into the slot without applying undue pressure. 6 WAVE XTABLE (English) Replace the sound card in its slot on the mainboard. This may require a certain amount of pressure; you should not have to apply force, however. Please take care to align the contacts precisely to prevent damage to your sound card or the mainboard. Despite the compact dimensions of the expansion board (90 x 89mm), the sound card will now require more space than before. [. . . ] This is all quite a bit easier with Cubase SX; there you can simply use the mouse to select the bank and program in the Inspector for the track. In this case, the problem with MSB or LSB is bypassed by selecting the devices to be routed to specific MIDI channels in the MIDI Device Manager. For more information, please look up "Bank Select" in your Cubase manual. WAVE XTABLE (English) 9 Name The name of the sound. The first name of each program corresponds to the commonly used GM standard, all others to the XG standard. Those with the designation TT are additional creations by TerraTec Producer. [. . . ]
