The '''Digiblaster''' is a small hardware device plugged into the CPC's printer port to play 8-bit mono sound samples. It was designed by [[Face Hugger]] and printed in the German magazine [[CPC Amstrad International]] in issue 8-9/1991. In 1995(?) [[Joshua]] made a redesign for better sound quality. , later [[Bryce]] made a redesign with even better sound quality. Also, in 1995, [[Futurs']] created and distributed the [[Soundplayer]] which is an improved Digiblaster (also featuring additional support for [[Virtual Net 96]]).
