Hear all 64 Voices!
Although many sound cards have 64 voices, most MIDI files and games use no 
more than 32 voices, leaving the other 32 voices unused!  The Malibu's VSL 
technology lets you take advantage of ALL 64 voices.  Pro musicians layer 
voices on top of each other to create a fuller sound.  The Malibu takes 
advantage of this same pro technique, layering the second 32 voices over the 
first for a rich, full sound.  When a single voice is played, the VSL driver 
actually triggers two voices to create an incredibly full and spacious audio 
experience, just like the pros!
