The Soundplayer is a simple soundcard which plugs to the CPC printer port to play 8-bit mono sound samples.
It was designed by Zik and distributed by Futurs'.
It is compatible with the Digiblaster whilst providing a better sound quality.
The Soundplayer was available for both Amstrad CPC and Amstrad Plus printer connectors.
The Soundplayer+ was an enhanced version which embeds both a Soundplayer and the Virtual Net 96 interface.
Either the Soundplayer or the Virtual Net 96 part could be optionally not mounted. When both part were mounted, a switch on the card allowed to switch from sound to network operations.
The Soundplayer and the Soundplayer+ were mainly advertised in the French fanzine Quasar CPC. It was very popular in France, almost any scener got his Soundplayer.
