Re: Did anyone ever hack an Ensoniq RAM expansion?

[Blake Patterson <blake@blakespot.com>]

	I recall a program like SoundSmith--maybe it is SoundSmith, that has
some kind of little graphical representation of the sound RAM, so you
could see how much of it was full, and you could enable compression,
etc.  If a program like that could probe to see how much was there, it
could make use of more.  I wonder if the "official Apple way" of filling
sound RAM involves a probe to see how much is there -- if some tool will
place samples there and will keep going until it runs out of RAM.  The
usefulness would seem to end there, as for general games, etc. it would
not be worth having two different sound scenarios to benefit the 4
people that have expanded their sound RAM...
