Sound Blaster Audigy Applications 4-7
❑ Assign up to four MIDI controller bars to send real time controller messages to your MIDI synthesizer.
If you are a beginner, start by plugging a microphone into your Sound Blaster Audigy card, and sampling
your voice. With Vienna SoundFont Studio you can create an instrument and place the sample to allow
you to pitch-shift your voice up and down the keyboard. Next, you can try to apply an articulation effect
like Filter, to change your voice. Once you discover the power of SoundFont technology, you will be
amazed at the sound design possibilities available.

RemoteCenter
Creative RemoteCenter converts your computer into an entertainment system, which you can control
from the comfort of your bed or sofa. With the remote control and RemoteCenter Player, a simple but
powerful multimedia player, you can play audio and video CDs on your computer from a distance. You
no longer need to be directly in front of your computer to select or change tracks because the remote
center system comes with On-Screen Display (OSD), which makes the commands or functions available,
viewable from a distance of 4 metres. RemoteCenter also allows you to start and control your favorite
Windows applications.
