Isn't there another 128KB of RAM dedicated to the sound generation chip?

That's 64K.


But the Ensoniq is able to deal with 128 KB of RAM connected to it.  I'm
surprised no one has done a hardware hack to piggyback the RAM and
double the size of the sound buffer.  Imagine the MIDISynth wave banks
that could be made with twice as much room for samples.  :)

I wonder if the toolset allows for 17-bit addresses, or the equivalent
bank-selection bit...
