Gravis Ultrasound Soundcard
Bookmark and Share

Gravis Ultrasound a.k.a GUS was my first wavetable synthesis soundcard. This card has had it's popularity among multimedia computer geeks because it was the only one at the time which did not have any sound samples stored in ROM. Instead they could be loaded in it's 512KB of RAM from the computer's hard disk This allowed for unlimited combinations of sounds being used. Also this sound card could be used as a MIDI triggered sampler, since each loaded sound could be asigned to a MIDI channel.

    Hi there!

    I had a GUS also. Wonderful piece of hardware, it's a pity its recording capability was limited to 8 bit sampling.

    Btw, it had 512 KB (Kilo, not Mega) of RAM and a socket to install another 512 KB chip, thus getting 1 MB of memory... which was a good amount of RAM for a soundcard at the time. But then came the Creative SoundBlaster AWE32... Sic...
