Title: Delfina Flipper soundboard.
Post by: locutus on August 28, 2003, 05:10:53 PM

Hello, does anyone have some information about the quality of the audio in/outputs on the Flipper card ?

I want to replace the Yamaha board i'm currently using in my Alpha machine with a delfina in the Amiga (i NEED another PCI slot in that machine, and removing the Soundboard would do the job) , so of course the board should at least be onpar with the soundquality my Yamaha board produces (YMF-744 board built by Yamaha)

I also am thinking about using the Delfina onstage for gigs, using the Delfina's DSP to do audioeffects on my Bass guitar, would that be do-able ?


Any comments would be nice :-)

@locutus

mhh . . .a milion dollars question :-)

AFAIK the YMF-744 chip, is a good item.

Delfina Flipper, has some problem about its DSP and MP3 playing but anyway, i think that the 2 boards, are quite the same in quality.

I own a Repulse Gold card for my A4000 that is an hi-quality device with SPDIF in-out.

For the onstage use, all is possible but for RT sound effect . .  .onestly real effect gear for you guitar bass, should the best choise.

But, as i already said . . .all is possible.

Let we know.

Ciao

Hmmm, what are the problems regarding the MP3/DSP playback ?

The idea behind using the Delfina with an Amiga was that the Amiga would also be used as a simple Drum Computer, and using real audioeffect hardware would also cost quite a bit more then a Delfina (wich also is usefull for other things, like the mp3 playback) .

The musical style is Experimental-Grind so onstage audio quality doesn't need to be *that* high, i primarily want good outputs for home usage on the stereo setup.

Thank you for the comments :-)

Good luck :-)

PS- remember that Delfina Flipper and (shit) my Repulse Gold card, doesn't works properly, with AudioEvolution (ver 3 and 4). (Rec mode)

I'm in srict contact, with the author that told me that the problem is AHI related.

Howerver i'm still useing ProStationAudio 5.05 Titanium . . . the best :-)
