The Tahiti is Turtle Beach's high end digital recording and playback card. 
The signal to noise ratio on the Tahiti is one of the best in the industry.

Due to its superb Specs and sound quality, it has won multiple awards in
serious computer publications including "PC Magazine" and Music publications 
including "Keyboard Magazine". It has also become the 'standard' in the 
industry and is often used as a 'Reference' board.
 
It has line level inputs and outputs, and a MIDI Wavetable Header to connect 
a daughterboard (such as the Rio, which together makes the Monterey.)  

Although the Tahiti alone does not have any onboard MIDI playback
capabilities, it can be used to pass MIDI signals through an external
controller to a sequencer (such as Voyetra's Digital Orchestrator) 
and then back out to an external synthesizer.

The Tahiti is part of the Multisound line of cards that use the Hurricane
Architecture (non-DMA approach to sound data transfers).

Features:
        - 18bit A/DAC through a Motorola 56001 DSP chip
        - perfect for low-cost high-quality hard disk recording applications
        - Waveblaster connector for attaching a synthesizer
        - MIDI port (MPU-401 compatible with software)
        - Hurricane architecture (no DMA channel is used by the board)
        - Also shipped as a part of the Quad Studio package
