It achieved this by providing a fully AdLib-compatible product, with additional features, for the same, and often a lower price. In spite of these limitations, in less than a year, the Sound Blaster became the top-selling expansion card for the PC. Creative refers to CT1310 for the Sound Blaster 1.0 on its website. This however is a topic of ongoing debate. Some sources note that the original Sound Blaster 1.0 was produced under the CT1310 number. The CT1320B variety of the Sound Blaster 1.0 typically has C/MS chips installed in sockets rather than soldered on the PCB, though units do exist with the C/MS chips soldered on. The ADPCM decompression schemes supported were 2 to 1, 3 to 1 and 4 to 1.

The sole DSP-like features of the circuit were ADPCM decompression and a primitive non-MPU-401 compatible MIDI interface. It could play back 8-bit monaural sampled sound at up to 23 kHz sampling frequency and record 8-bit at up to 12 kHz. This actually stood for Digital Sound Processor, rather than the more common digital signal processor, and was really a simple micro-controller from the Intel MCS-51 family (supplied by Intel and Matra MHS, among others). Creative used the "DSP" acronym to designate the digital audio part of the Sound Blaster.

It provided perfect compatibility with the market leader AdLib sound card, which had gained support in PC games in the preceding year. In addition to Game Blaster features, it had an 11-voice FM synthesizer using the Yamaha YM3812 chip, also known as OPL2. The Sound Blaster 1.0 (code named " Killer Kard"), CT1320A, was released in 1989. Sound Blaster 1.0 (CT1320B) C/MS chips in sockets (labeled U14, U15) are seen. First generation Sound Blasters, 8-bit ISA & MCA cards Sound Blaster 1.0, CT1310, CT1320A, CT1320B

In 2017 hobbyists developed a clone CT1300 PCB.

Whereas the C/MS package came with five floppy disks full of utilities and song files, Creative supplied only a single floppy with the basic utilities and game patches to allow Sierra Online's games using the Sierra Creative Interpreter engine to play music with the card and it also included a later revision of the game Silpheed that added C/MS support. This card was identical in every way to the precursor C/MS hardware. This chip allows software to automatically detect the card by certain register reads and writes.Ī year later, in 1988, Creative marketed the C/MS via Radio Shack under the name Game Blaster. Surprisingly, the board also contained a large 40-pin DIP integrated circuit, bearing a CT 1302A CTPL 8708 (Creative Technology Programmable Logic) serigraphed inscription and looking exactly like the DSP of the later Sound Blaster. On the C/MS board in particular, the Philips chips had white pieces of paper with a fantasy CMS-301 inscription on them: real Creative parts usually had consistent CT number references. The various integrated circuits had white or black paper stickers fully covering their top thus hiding their identity. For many years Creative tended to use off-the-shelf components and manufacturers' reference designs for their early products. These ICs were featured earlier in various popular electronics magazines around the world. It contained two Philips SAA1099 integrated circuits, which, together, provided 12 channels of square-wave "bee-in-a-box" stereo sound, 4 channels of which can be used for noise. The history of Creative sound cards started with the release of the Creative Music System ("C/MS") CT-1300 board in August 1987.
