Orchid Technology Supplemental Driver Release InVision ROM DSP code ----------------------------- The file you have downloaded INV.EXE contains support software for Orchid audio products that use the InVision wavetable ROM set. Those products are the SoundWave 32+SCSI, and the GameWave 32Plus, which ship with InVision ROMs. It may also include the SoundWave 32 and GameWave 32 if the stock (Prosonus) ROMs have been upgraded to InVision ROMs. This readme file contains instructions for installing the supplemental DSP code. You have already completed the first step, by unpacking the INV.EXE file and reading this. This is not a complete driver set. It is a supplemental upgrade. If you have any of the following driver sets you can add these updated files to your system. Audio driver filename on CIS Product version(s) or Orchid BBS ----------------- ------------ ------------------ SoundWave 32 v2.1 INVISN.EXE SoundWave 32+SCSI v3.0 or 3.1 n/a GameWave 32 v2.0 or 2.2 GWINV.EXE GameWave 32Plus v2.2 GWINV.EXE When you unpack INV.EXE you should have the following files: INFO EXE 9834 11-03-93 4:45p GENMID LD 39925 10-11-94 2:08p MT32 LD 46095 10-24-94 9:33a README 1ST 5126 08-03-95 Using the new DSP code ---------------------- 1. Copy the files listed above to your SoundWave or GameWave directory. That directory will probably be called one of the following, depending on which product you have: C:\SW32 for the SoundWave 32 C:\SWAVE32 for the SoundWave 32+SCSI C:\GW32 for the GameWave 32 and GameWave 32Plus The GENMID.LD and MT32.LD files are direct replacements for existing DSP files you have in that directory. Your older versions will be overwritten. 2. Once the files are copied into the proper directory, reboot your system. The new DSP code will load automatically when your board is initialized in AUTOEXEC.BAT by either the SW32.EXE or GW32.EXE programs. Changes in this Release ----------------------- This updated DSP code adds the following functions to Orchid SoundWave and GameWave products. * Enhanced SoundBlaster compatibility * Improved MIDI THRU support * Improved MIDI SYSEX support (required for use with Orchid's DOS audio control panel which is coming soon). * new INFO.EXE program to report file versions Note: ----- This new DSP code is ONLY appropriate for Orchid audio boards that have the InVision ROM upgrade installed. You will experience odd wavetable sounds if you try to use them with other types of ROMS. If you don't have the InVision ROM upgrade, but would like more information please see the following Press Release.
