At the heart of the Space Station is the Sound Engine, designed to give precision performance.  By using the onboard Test routine the Sound Engine will model its self around the capabilities of your PC, automatically calculating the best possible Output Frequency and Polyphony.  The Space Station is not like any other Wave play back device on the market, it will out perform any known hard disk recorder.  The Polyphony Value is the true amount of Waves playable at any one time, even if they are ten minuets long.  The Sound Engine has be designed to allocate up to 4096 Stereo Wave Files, to a total of 3.5Gb of RAM, The only limitation to Wave size is the available memory.  The Output Frequency can be changed in Real Time, without effecting the play back speed of any Waves Loaded.  The Sound Engine takes into account that you will be editing Waves in real time, there for it is possible to increase the Polyphony Value for Live performance.
