DELFINA LITE - NEW DSP AUDIO CARD FOR GENERAL USE



1. TECH

Delfina Lite is based on Delfina DSP, the world's first general use multifunctional DSP audio card for Amiga. From the Delfina DSP some functions have been deleted (serial/parallel ports, memory expansion) and some functions have been added (multiple sound input, expansion port). The modern manufacturing allows a very low price: SRP is $299.

Delfina Lite is primarily a DSP audio card, and it is best suited for producing and recording audio with optional realtime effects. Effects can be applied on any sound produced by Delfina or external source transparently, and all the sounds produced by Delfina-capable programs or external source can be mixed into Delfina's output. Delfina Lite is also freely programmable for all general computing tasks using the supplied compiler and libraries.

With the upcoming S/PDIF option Delfina Lite turns your Amiga into a professional 24-bit computer audio workstation. The optional serial port adds a new high-speed MIDI-capable serial into your computer with very little CPU usage.

2. SUPPORT

Delfina Lite fully supports AHI, the retargetable audio standard for Amiga. Number of AHI supporting programs is steadily increasing. In the future, Delfina Lite will also emulate the Toccata card in software.

In addition to AHI standard, Delfina Lite can run multiple Delfina and AHI programs at the same time, and various effects can be applied globally, on a single program output or a single external input, with all the sounds mixed together at wished levels. Only Delfina's DSP usage and internal memory set the limits.

Software supporting Delfina includes:
