After a long wait, the powerful Delfina soundboard with a DSP (digital signal processor) goes back into production at the facilities of individual Computers. The board has been partly re-designed on the Zorro side to improve performance to a level that has never been reached on a stock Zorro-II bus. The "Delfina Flipper edition" can transfer more than 5MB/sec through the bus. This speed can either be used to playback more voices at the same time through AHI than any other soundcard before, or to reduce the CPU load while playing back single voices. All known DSP functions and programs for the existing Delfina boards will also work on the new boards, including the killer-application: MP3 playback with minimum CPU load. A stock Amiga without accelerator can playback MP3 at best quality with the Delfina!
Toccata emulation and AHI software interface let you use any soundcard-compatible software with Delfina Flipper. A Midi expansion module will let you use Midi expanders, synthesizers and keyboards for input and output.
Individual Computers has also reduced the cost of the Delfina dramatically. The retail price will be around 370,- DM (189,- EUR). The new boards will ship in summer 2001.
