The MULTISN2 multiple MultiSound Driver
The new MultiSnd2.drv driver is to be used in addition to your installed
MultiSound's driver to allow two Turtle Beach MultiSound cards to co-exist in
the same unit. At this point we do not have applications which will function
with the second MultiSound unit. We suggest taking the audio OUT of
MultiSound #2 into the IN or AUX of MultiSound number one. This will allow
you as the user to control the volume level of MultiSound #2 with the mixer
application of your first multisound. When new applications become available
for the second MultiSound, they will be posted on the Beach Comber BBS.
When using two MultiSounds for Windows Wave playback. You must use your
media player in combination with a program like Wave for Windows which can
choose its wave playback device. With these two applications, you will be
able to playback and record two wave files at the same time. Just make sure
that you have a fast hard drive.
Programs like Cakewalk for Windows and Master Tracks Pro are ideal for
the dual Multisound approach. Because they support multiple MIDI ports, you
have access to two Proteus 1/XR modules, two MIDI IN's and four MIDI out's.
Let us know what you think! Have fun!
1. Copy the Multisn2.drv file to your C:\Windows\systm.ini directory.
2. Choose a memory address, port address, and IRQ address form your MultiSound
manual that is different from the addresses where your first MultiSound
resides (defaults are D000, IRQ=10, and I/O=290.
3. If you are using a high memory manager, place an exclude line in your
Config.sys in order to reserve the memory address. For EMM386 the exclude
line could look like this... device=c:\windows\emm386.exe noems x=D000-D7FF
4. Edit your system.ini and copy the following exclude statement to the
bottom of your [386Enh] section. Make sure that you change the exclude
statement to reflect the new memory address of MultiSound 2.
EMMExclude=E800-Efff
5. Copy the following section to the [Drivers] section of your System.ini.
This setting is assuming that you have no other MIDI or Wave devices
installed under Windows.
MIDI1=Multisn2.drv
Aux1=Multisn2.drv
Wave1=Multisn2.drv
6. Copy the next section to the bottom of your System.ini. Make sure that you
Change the first three lines to reflect your current hardware settings for
MultiSound 2.
