By using a vs1053/vs8053, we present to you an ideal, low-cost, easy to solder, some what compact and open source WaveBlaster module.
*Support General Midi with 128 GM1 instruments 61 GM2 Bank 0 precussion sounds up to 64 notes polyphony and stereo output @48Khz 16bit
Here is a sample from chip manufacture.
http://www.vlsi.fi/fileadmin/software/VS10XX/vs1053mid.mp3
It's been tested on a old ESS 688 audiodrive sound card.
REV B and REV A is in gergber/old stable.7z
REV C IS BASICALLY REV B,their schematic is the same.
REV A = vs1053-waveblaster
REV C = vs1053-waveblaster-se
Here's a view of it been fully assembled and not been. (It says REV C, but it's actually REV B).
*Look,it is working on my soundcard.
*a. It is your choice to use crystal or oscillator.
*b. Both vs8053 and vs1053 can be used. There're no diffience in the MIDI implementation. Just buy the cheapest one.
*All values are printed on the silkscreen.

1.Fully SMT-ized?(Maybe REV D?)
2.Get a proper logo?(Maybe REV D?)
3.Write a bom list?(How about right now!)
