Re: 760ED and Mwave
One little tip regarding the sound delays with the Mwave--if you need
multimedia, try conecting at 14,400 BPS instead of 28.8. I have noticed
that when I have done this, not only do I have no delay with WAV sounds,
but I get MIDI as well. With 28.8 you get no MIDI due to the amount of
free resources in the DSP chip.
That brings me to a question. Wouldn't WAV files take up more
resources than MIDI? If so, why is it MIDI and not WAV that can be
played at 28.8?
