What about them other machines?

Here's a rundown of sound on other computers...

Notes:

"Wavetable" as used here means "a channel capable of playing back a
digitized waveform". This is NOT the generally musically accepted
meaning of the term, but it IS how it is commonly used when referring
to computer sound boards.

"8/16" for WT playback bits means the chip is capable of directly
processing 8-bit or 16-bit samples without conversion (the GUS's GF1
chip and the AV Mac's DSP chip obviously fit these criteria).

1 - The AV Mac's DSP chip can theoretically mix an infinite number of
wavetable voices or synthesize an infinite number of FM voices.
However, this is limited in practice by the speed of the chip and any
other things you have it doing (voice recognition, modem replacement,
etc).

2- The Gravis UltraSound can emulate FM synthesis in software.

3- Macs before the Mac II were mono-only.
