The Sound Blaster 16 had a socket for an optional digital signal processor dubbed the Advanced Signal Processor ( ASP or later CSP). The Wave Blaster was simply a MIDI peripheral internally connected to the MIDI port, so any PC sequencer software could use it. Finally, the MIDI support now included MPU-401 emulation (in dumb UART mode only, but this was sufficient for most MIDI applications). Creative offered such daughterboards in their Wave Blaster line. The cards also featured a connector for add-on daughterboards with wavetable synthesis (actually, sample-based synthesis) capabilities complying to the General MIDI standard. They also, like the older Sound Blasters, natively supported FM synthesis through a Yamaha OPL-3 chip. Sound Blaster 16 (June 1992), the successor to Sound Blaster Pro, introduced 16-bit digital audio sampling to the Sound Blaster line.
