Here are some of the most common devices that use the midi\wav format and that are compatible with computers-
| This is one of the best soundcards on the market at the moment, it is capable of recording 16 tracks of wave at once sampling at 100kHz (enabling crystal clear recording, more crystal than the human ear can recognise). | |
| This is a sampler. The one shown has 8 Mb of RAM, which is 80 sec of stereo sample time (44kHz). It is capable of downloading sound files (.wav) from the computer via the printer port. | |
| This device is a polyphonic computer controlled rhythm processor (drum machine). It enables the user to produce full sounding compositions without the need for a computer (sequencer) as it has one on board. |
As computers get better they seem to take over the job of more equipment, as they are either to big, to expensive or not as good as the computer.
