Subject: 7th guest

Sorry if this is an old issue, but does anyone know how to get the SoundFX 
to work with The 7th Guest?  I copied gf1midi.adv over the GM driver 
and gf1digi.adv over the sb driver.  I load ultramid before I play and I
get gread midi and speech but no soundfx.  Anyone know what the problem 
could be?

Thanks in advance...

To answer ken question about compatibility between Sierra's
Gabriel Knight CD and the GUS, the response is: NO PROBLEMS!!!!

You just have to use the Sierra 32 bit driver (gus32.exe) and
all the information are enclosed.

Good luck

E_Guitars v2.0

		This archive (E_Guitr2.Zip) contains several guitar and bass
	patches from various sources.  Some were sampled off of the SCC-1
	(Unfortunately)* and Kurzweil K2000 as well as off of other synths.
	A few of them were sampled from some of my instruments.  A few still
	were 'borrowed' from the ProPats v3.0 archive.  The patches that
	were borrowed have been modified by us so are not exactly the same
	as the ones in the ProPats 3 zips.  The few patches that conform to
	the GM standard have the proper GUS patch filenames.  These patches
	are mainly intended for use in professional performances and are
	hereby released to the Public Domain.  =)  The following is a list
	of patches and their filesizes that are contained within this zip.

Note: GM? is merely a guide.  Although many of the patches can be used
	  as GM instruments, large filesizes make me choose NO for the
	  average user.  Also, YES means that in our honest opinions, the
	  patch sounds more realistic than the others that are of a similiar
	  size.

Warning: Use these patches at your own risk.  Be sure to back up
	  your patches that are to be replaced with these just in case.

* - We had to sample of the SCC-1 because it has better patches than the
	default GUS patch set and because we could not locate a better
	sounding patch on the synths we have access to.

E_Guitr2.Zip can be downloaded from archive.epas.utoronto.ca in the
pub/pc/ultrasound/submit directory.  And as always, enjoy these and our
future releases.

P.S. : For those waiting for a new Sax section, we have been rather busy
and have been unable to improve the patches with what little time we
have.  The patches in this zip were made a long time ago and have merel
been thrown together in this zip.  The saxes will be uploaded this
weekend in their not-so-great condition.  (At least they sound a little
better than the default though. =) )

Subject: Gus, OS/2, and Manley Drivers

I've got Robert Manley's drivers ver 0.5e, OS/2 2.1, MMPM 1.1 and a Gus. 
When I install the drivers it says the installation has been succesful, 
but no lines are added to config.sys. If I add them manually, using the 
switches to set IRQs DMAs etc, they still don't work. The driver loads, 
but no sound comes out. DOS sessions have to have optional adapter 
sharing otherwise they refuse to work, and printing slows to a crawl. 
I've tried several different setups for my gus, changing the switches 
approriately, but nothing works (it works fine under DOS and windoze). 
What am I doing wrong?

Some wrote this:
I got a good deal on the Gabriel Knight CD, but before I buy it,
I wanted to know if it supports the GUS. Or what kind of hacking
you have to do to get it to work. What drivers does it use?

And I reply this:
You'll need the GUS/Sierra 32bit drivers.  You can find them on the GUS site 
under a filename that I forgot.  I just got on Internet after a 4 months 
absence.
But don't worry, the game will work and what a game!

They can be found at the hobbes.nmsu.edu or ftp-os2.cdrom.com ftp sites.

If Gravis had written the drivers as promised they could have been included 
in the Warp 3.0 release.

I have the latest drivers (v3.56), and a recently purchased GUS MAX, and 
I also have trouble getting SBOS and MEGAEM to run with any package that 
uses the DOS/4GW extender.  I guess this is the fault of the drivers, as 
they must not like running under the extender or something.  Usually, my 
CPU does a hard crash, or it reboots my computer altogether.  Pity, as 
many good games use the extender (note, there are some games that work, 
but most don't).

The plain 'ol Win 3.1 GUS drivers work *fine* with even the first Win '95 
beta I've seen.

Of course, I hope that Gravis come up with 32 bit GUS drivers real soon 
anyway.

Hope this helps.

Funny you should mention it - I just sent mail to Gravis about this.
I installed beta 2 of Win95, and it didn't like the existing (latest)
drivers or VxD one bit.  Going thru the soundcard settings in the
Control Panel was no good, either - AdvGravis isn't listed.  The
system *did* see the Sony CDU-33A being driven off the GUS MAX -
driven by a proprietary Sony interface controller...

The patch you are looking for is called something like sierra32. This 
program contains patches for all of the Sierra 32-bits games. I don't 
know of any ftp-sight that you can get it but it has come with some 
PC-magazines that contains a CD (look at the package). If you don't 
find it you can send a mail to Sierra On-line and ask for it! The 
adress is: 
		 76004.2143@compuserve.com.

Meanwhile, you can play it from Windows, if you got a fast enough 
machine. There you get sound effects and speech, but not all the music.

Hi, I wonder if it's possible to dump the sampledata to disk from Roland's Cds full of prof. samples.
Roland sells cds full with samples for their samplers. Those samplers read the data using a SCSI cdrom. I don't know which book type they used for storing the samples, but there must exist a way to catch those samples for use with the ultrasound, no ?

Hi, I have a question.
When I try to record something in windows, either using Wave Lite or the Windows Recorder, the sound is covered with noise, even when I use 16-bit stereo.
Something bizarre is that when I start windows from the DOS prompt, the volume jumps up a bit, and I get noise through my stereo, or headphones, even when I cut down all the mixer values. In DOS everything works fine, and I can record using USS or playfil
