Environmental Audio Control
Environmental Audio Control allows you to configure the EMU10K1 effects engine. It allows you to specify to a low level the components that make up the audio elements that in turn make up an environment. An environment is the modeling of a real-world experience. We have provided some entertainment, gaming and concert hall environments to get you started with.
