Turtle Beach Wave For Windows v1.0
July 20, 1992
This is from 1992, so its pre-Voyetra acquisition of TB.
Installs & runs on XP SP3, just be sure to install from a dir off the root of
your HD (ex: unpack to C:\TMP, install to C:\TBWAVE).
Included several sample WAV files from the era that DO WORK in this app.
Because of the large market created by the success of Windows, multimedia and
cheap sound cards, Turtle Beach developed Wave for Windows, an inexpensive sound
editor which it later bundled with its sound cards. Wave for Windows is a
comprehensive program which offers many editing features and probably the
largest number of digital effects available in any PC digital audio editing
program.
Intended for:
For the ISA card - Turtle Beach Systems PINNACLE - Windows 3.1 only - didn't
do DOS games - card was intended for musicians from the get-go. 2 DIMM slots for
memory, Kurzweil daughterboard, and an SCSI header.
Backgrounder:
Turtle Beach Systems is a sound card and headset manufacturer and direct
competitor with Creative Labs-branded Sound Blaster. In 1995, the company
merged with Voyetra, a company that made custom software for sound cards, to
form Voyetra Turtle Beach Inc which is headquartered in Valhalla, New York, USA.
On the software side, the company released "Wave for Windows", a sound editing
program that was ahead of its time, but also ahead of the hardware curve;
"Quad", the first multitrack recording application for the PC; and several
other software titles.

Turtle Beach Softworks was founded in 1985 as an audio software developing
company. The name was changed later to Turtle Beach Systems, but that's not of
key importance either. The company became well known right with the first
software product called Vision which relied upon third party hardware, Ensoniq
Mirage. That was an 8-bit sampler, a very inexpensive yet pretty much
functional device of those days to retail at 1700 USD
The next development cycle took over a year. Turtle Beach introduced their
revolutionary new sound hardware called MultiSound at COMDEX/Spring '91 which
took place in Atlanta, GA on the 20th to 23rd of May 1991. The card hit the
market in December of 1991 with a list price of 995 USD, though it was reduced
to more affordable 600 USD by December of 1992 to compete better with Creative
SoundBlaster 16 (350 USD for the ASP version) and alikes. A lot of money?
Well, believe or not, a regular 2x SCSI CD-ROM drive cost no less than those
600 USD by the end of 1992. In a matter of fact, MultiSound was a real
engineering masterpiece aimed at sound professionals. It combined hardware
advantages of the 56K system with much lower manufacturing costs and
additional features, though it supported analogue inputs and outputs only.
Unlike all other sound cards for the ISA bus, it didn't utilise DMA channels
because the Hurricane architecture it was built upon required only a single
IRQ, an I/O port and a 32Kb window in upper memory. So, this 4-layer board 34
centimetres long was populated by a whole lot of fine silicon hardware...
