If you’ve ever spent your late nights in the 90s obsessing over whether your MIDI setup was “correct,” your wallet is about to feel a very specific kind of pain.
A new pre-order window has officially opened for the Orpheus II ISA soundcard. This isn’t just another piece of hardware; it’s essentially a “greatest hits” collection of retro audio tech squeezed onto one board. We’re talking Yamaha OPL3 FM synthesis, Gravis Ultrasound-style sampling via an AMD Interwave chip, and even support for Roland GS daughterboards to give you that legendary SC-55 vibe.
It is, quite frankly, a beast of a card. However, being “the ultimate soundcard” comes with a hefty price tag of €340. If you’re ready to drop the cash, keep in mind that pre-orders require a 50% deposit to secure your spot.
A few quick notes for the collectors:
- The Deadline: While originally slated for May, the window has been extended into early June.
- The Look: Forget the flashy red PCBs from previous runs; this batch is returning to the classic green.
If you want that perfect, era-accurate audio experience, now is the time to move.
