Turtle Beach Tahiti
The Tahiti is part of the second generation of MultiSound sound cards from Turtle Beach. It uses a Motorola 56001 DSP chip like MultiSound does, but unlike some other MultiSounds, Tahiti does not come with an onboard wavetable, instead simply providing a header for connection to a General MIDI (GM) wavetable daughterboard.

A lot had happened from the launch of the first MultiSound in 1991/1992 in the world of synthesizers. The E-mu Proteus 1/XR used on the first-gen cards had been removed from sale to OEMs when Creative bought-out E-mu in 1993, leaving Turtle Beach without a synthesizer chipset. This pushed Turtle Beach to merge with Integrated Circuit Systems (ICS) where together they developed a new rival synth called ICS WaveFront.
