The Waveblaster Manipulator

Since questions do occur from time to time, I've created a discussion forum for them.

WBMan is a preset editor/librarian for the Waveblaster I, a daughterboard for the Sound Blaster 16 / AWE32 series. This daughterboard contains a full-featured synthesizer based on the E-mu® Proteus™ line.

While a bit outdated (the original Creative Labs WaveBlaster is no longer available), this was my first MIDI Program for Windows 3.1, and I'm still proud of it; it has evolved into quite a useful program, even if you don't have a Waveblaster daughterboard attached to your SoundBlaster.

You can download WBMan V4.11 here.

WaveBlaster MIDI Specification

As Creative Labs never managed to correctly document the WaveBlaster, I've transcribed the original E-mu Sound Engine (a little sound module with the same chip set as the WaveBlaster) MIDI specification from some loose pages sent to me from E-mu Systems Technical Support. I've been granted the permission to publish it some years ago by Mark Camp at E-mu Systems, so - here it is!
