The Turtle Beach Maui is a sampling MIDI synthesizer and external 
MIDI interface incorporated on a single ISA card for the IBM PC/AT.
It could be used as an upgrade to an existing sound card or as a stand-alone 
MIDI product. 

The Maui allowed the addition of RAM in 30-pin SIMM modules, which were 
used to store custom sample banks for MIDI recording and playback.

The Maui also has a 9 pin MIDI connector that can be used with an advanced
MIDI interface with MIDI IN, MIDI OUT and MIDI THRU female connectors for 
hookup to external synthesizers and MIDI controllers. 
 

The Maui was introduced in 1994 and went out of production in late 1996.

                                Manual misprints
                                ----------------

* The manual states that the Maui has a 26-pin WaveBlaster connector which 
  connects to a second sound card (if installed). 

  CORRECTION: The current hardware version of Maui does not require any 
  internal connection between itself and any other card, so please disregard 
  any references to the 26-pin connector. 

* The "JP2 Port Settings" on page 12 show the same jumper settings for I/O 
  230 & 210.  

  CORRECTION: The setting for 230 is correct as shown and the setting for 
  210 should show ALL jumpers closed (or On). 

* Also, on the same page, 300 and 230 are switched as are 338 and 290.  

  CORRECTION: The correct settings are these: 300 has the top two jumper 
  blocks on, 230 has the bottom two, 338 has the top jumper block on and 290 
  has the bottom one.
 
* The manual mistakenly says to connect the ribbon cable from Maui's 26-pin 
  connector to the WaveBlaster header on a second soundcard (if installed).

  CORRECTION: The Maui does not utilize any General MIDI compatibility via 
  any direct connection between any other card.  Inserting the Maui into an 
  open ISA slot and installing the software will make everything functional.

                                      Maui
                                      ----

The Maui is a Wavetable upgrade board that provides your system with full 
General MIDI compatibility. It is also a full-fledged fast Sampler Synth. 

The Maui can be used as an upgrade to your existing sound card or as a 
stand-alone MIDI product. It is an upgrade because it does not do digital 
audio in/out, so you'll need another sound board. That sound board doesn't 
need to have a Waveblaster connector though.

The Maui has an input for your other sound board. This input is mixed with
the Maui's output and sent to the Maui's output jack.

This card was designed for: 
1. Anyone who wants General MIDI compatibility 
2. Owners of existing sound cards looking to add General MIDI capability 

FEATURES:
 
* ICS WaveFront wavetable synthesizer with a 2 MB ROM of compressed samples
* 16-bit playback
* General MIDI compatible
* SampleStore allows you to take any .WAV file and use it as a MIDI
    instrument, expandable up to 8 MB using standard SIMMs 
* Includes 256K of sample RAM (expandable to 8MB) for loading new samples
* External MPU-401 compatible MIDI port for MIDI interface 
    (with optional cable)
* Includes same samples as the Rio daughterboard
* Much higher MIDI transfer rate (70x) than Rio
* No Digital Audio capabilities - it is only a WaveTable / Sampling card 
    meant to supplement an existing sound card.
* There is no MIDI header connection, although the manual shows one.  
    This was originally intended to be a pass through from a WaveBlaster 
    MIDI header, but the ISA bus turned out to be much more advantageous 
    than having to deal with another card's interface/cable.

                              Win 95 Installation
                              -------------------

Native Win 95 drivers for the Maui sound card are available on our FTP.

File name :  MAUI95.ZIP
File size :  500k

Unzip the MAUI.ZIP files to a blank floppy disk. On this disk, there will now 
be a README file.  You will want to print this file out before installing the 
drivers. Install the drivers according to the information in that text 
document. Here is the step-by-step for your convenience:

This driver installs via the non PnP Windows 95 method using the Windows 
"Add New Hardware" Wizard:

1) Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel 
2) Select 'Add New Hardware'
3) Click Next
4) Do not let Windows search as it will not find a Non PnP card
5) Select:'No I want to select the hardware from a list'
6) From Hardware types select 'Sound Video, Game controllers'
7) Select: 'Have Disk'
8) Point the Browser to the location where you have extracted the "MAUI95.ZIP"
9) Windows should find the .INF file for the information it needs
10) Follow the on screen instructions.


TROUBLESHOOTING

Before you contact Tech Support, please take a moment to check the
following...

1) Are all the old drivers uninstalled?  Check your SYSTEM.INI file and make 
    sure that any references to the sound card are gone. These new drivers 
    store all information in the Registry instead. Any references to the 
    following files may be safely REMmed out :

        MAUI.DRV

    To REM out a line in the SYSTEM.INI file, simply place a semi-colon and 
    space in front of the line.

    This line is NOT REMmed out
        midi=maui.drv

    This line IS REMmed out
        ; MIDI1=MAUI.DRV

2) Please note that some newer PCs do not allow use of Interrupt 9 which is 
   the default Windows preference for a MIDI card. If this is the case, you 
   would need to assign a different Interrupt to the Maui.

      Miracle Piano Teaching System - Procedure for using the Maui with it
      --------------------------------------------------------------------

Miracle Piano Teaching system was part of the "Crescendo" package.

1.  Before turning your computer on, make sure that the 'MIDI OUT' of the 
    Crescendo keyboard is plugged into the 'MIDI IN' of the Maui midi adapter.
2.  Turn on your computer 
3.  Install the Miracle software by changing to the A: drive and typing 
    A:\install  
4.  Follow the directions and install the files to the C:\MIRACLE directory.
5.  On the "Select Keyboard Interface" screen, choose:  General MIDI 
    (GENERAL) 
6.  On the following screen select:  MPU-401 compatible MIDI interface
7.  Turn the Crescendo keyboard on and press 'enter'
8.  Choose 'Y' for the next two options (This sets up the Maui to be MPU-401
    compatible by using Port 330 and IRQ 2).
9.  If you have a printer, choose the appropriate one from the list.
10. A confirmation screen will appear with the settings you have chosen. 
    Press 'enter.'
11. Press 'enter' again and the Miracle files will be copied to your hard 
    drive.

To Run the Miracle Software:

In order for the Maui to correctly interface with the Miracle software, the
Maui needs to be initialized with the MPU-401 defaults of port address 330
and IRQ 2/9. This can be done by running the file 'mauimrcl.bat' which is
available on our FTP Site.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you would rather type your own batch file, the procedure is as follows:

1.  At the DOS prompt, type CD\MAUI to go to the Maui directory
2.  If you have DOS 5.0 or greater, you can use the 'Edit' command to create
    your file.  This is done by typing:  edit mauimrcl.bat 
3.  The DOS editor will appear with the file name 'mauimrcl.bat' at the top of
    the screen.
4.  Type the following lines in the DOS editor:
             cd\maui
             setupsnd  -x  /a330  /i2  osmaui.mot
             cd\miracle
             miracle
5.  Use the mouse to choose 'File' and select 'Save.'  If your mouse isn't
    initialized you can use the alt-f combination to get to the file options.
    Select File again and choose 'exit.'
6.  To use the file, type: MAUIMRCL in the C:\MAUI directory.  This will 
    initialize the Maui and automatically start the Miracle program.

                              Resources required
                              ------------------

The Maui requires one IRQ and one port address.

IRQs usable:
     8 bit: 2/9, 5
     16 bit: 12, 15

Port I/O:
     210H, 230H, 260H, 290H, 300H, 320H, 330H, 338H

NOTE: Many games look for a General MIDI sound device at 330H and don't
      give you the ability to select the port when you install it.

                                Troubleshooting
===============================================================================

                              DOS games locking up
                              --------------------

The Maui card must be initialized for General MIDI prior to setting up a 
game to use it. 

This is accomplished with the "SETUPSND" command explained on page 27 of the 
Maui User's Guide.  

SETUPSND must also be run after a Windows session is ended and prior to 
launching a DOS application using General MIDI.

                   Flashing cursor on Windows boot (Win 3.1)
                   -----------------------------------------

This is normal - after 15-20 seconds this should stop.  

What is happening is Maui's Windows driver is initializing.  It takes 
approximately 15 to 20 seconds to complete this procedure.

                              Hung notes (Win 3.1)
                              --------------------

If you have Maui drivers version 1.2 or greater, run the "WFDOS" command in 
the Maui directory to turn all notes off.  

To do so:
1. Exit Windows.
2. Type "CD C:\MAUI" to enter the Maui directory.
3. Type "WFDOS /O" to turn all notes off.

                  MIDI - no MIDI In or Out  (Win 3.1 & Win 95)
                  --------------------------------------------

1. Open the "Maui Control Panel" from the "Maui" program group.

2. Select "Audition Configure" from the Synth Menu. 

3. Under "Input Device" select "Maui Ext. In" and click [OK].

4. Select "Configure" from the Synth Menu and make sure the box marked 
   "Audition Enabled" is checked.

    MousePlayer works, but Windows MIDI files do not sound right. (Win 3.1)
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

You more than likely have another soundcard in your system that is listed as
Windows' primary MIDI device, and therefore, loading the Windows drivers. 
The order needs to be changed to list Maui as the primary MIDI device. 
This can be done by editing the SYSTEM.INI file and changing the MIDI= 
statements in the [Drivers] section. 

Use the example below to make these changes:
     
          BEFORE                              AFTER
          [Drivers]                           [Drivers]
          Midi=SB16midi.drv                   Midi1=SB16midi.drv
          Midi1=Maui.drv                      Midi=Maui.drv

If you are still having trouble, try accessing the MIDI Mapper from Windows
Control Panel.  Click on Edit, then make sure all 16 channels are set to Maui
Sample Player.



______________________________________________________________________________

                Windows hangs after Maui installation (Win 3.1)
                -----------------------------------------------

This is most likely caused by a Port Address conflict.  

Change the port settings via the three jumpers ("JP2") shown on page 12 of 
the Maui User's Guide.  Devices such as SCSI controller cards and other 
soundcards can cause port conflicts.  Changing the physical address of Maui 
will solve the problem.

                  Unzipping files - how to unzip/extract files
                  --------------------------------------------

Windows XP comes with a built in unzipping program. Winzip is not need for XP.
Just double-click on the .ZIP file and then hit Extract All.

WINZIP Step by Step:
--------------------
1) Download Winzip (Evaluation version) from its website at www.winzip.com, 
   and install it.

2) Double-click on the downloaded .ZIP file that you want to extract.

3) Agree (or disagree) to Winzip's disclaimer and you will see the contents of
   the zip file. You will need to agree with the license agreement before you 
   are able to use the program.

4) Press the "Extract" button and you will see a screen with an "Extract to" 
   window in the upper left. Type "C:\Install" in this window (no quotes).
   This will be the location of the new drivers that you are unzipping the 
   file to.  Also, make sure that the dot is on 'All files' not 'Selected 
   files'.

5) Press "Extract"

6) The extraction is complete when the green light is back on in the bottom of
   the screen (this will take a second or so).

7) You may now navigate to "C:\Install" in My Computer or Windows Explorer 
   where you can see the newly unzipped contents of the file. Continue with 
   your installation procedure as outlined in your manual, or in the
   README.TXT file in the .ZIP file.
