Subject: 15 to 31 samples MODs

Hello ev'rybody!
 
I'm using the great UltraWolf to add some more fun to Wolf3D (IMHO, still
the best action game for the PC, especially 'cause it's the original
idea). But UltraWolf doesn't play the old 15 samples MODs properly, and
I have a great 15 samples MOD that I would love to put in the game.
 
So, my question is: is there any program or MOD editor that can convert
the 15 samples file to a 31 samples one?
 
Oh, by the way, I got some good replacements for the pistol and machine
gun (the big one!) sounds. If somebody would like to trade some samples,
please e-mail me.
 
Thanks,
  Snoopy.

Subject: AWE32 to GUS comparison

I have the chance to get a good deal on an AWE32 righ now, but I know pretty much nothing about it.  I have a GUS with 1 meg now.  All I know about the AWE32
is whats on the box.  I use my GUS to listen to all kinds of music files like
MOD, 669, MIDI, etc... I also use it for some writing of music, and my
games.  How does the AEW32 stack up playing MIDIs?  The GUS is great in this area in my opinion.  I have never heard a roland, but nothing FM comes close 
obviously
I appreciate any and all info.

Subject: Gus and Linux Midi problems

I can't get MIDI to work with my gus.  When I try to play a MIDI file I'm
told that the midi device (/dev/midi) has an invalid minor number.

Here is the /dev entry for midi.
2 1:06 darkstar[34] ls -l /dev/midi
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     root      14,   2 Mar 17 00:51 /dev/midi

Does anybodoy see an obvious problem here?

I'm guessing that maybe the Midi software ( whatever was shipped with the
gravis Linux sound kit ) might not be loading the patch files in.

I did try compiling gusload.c and got a bunch of erors about things that
aren't declared.
Can someone point me to a precompiled midi loader.  In fgact, how about any
pre-compiled midi software for gus and linux.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Subject: GUS and Midi channels, Cubase and MIDI Mapper

I am currently trying to use my GUS as an additional voice module
within my synth setup. I am using Cubase to sequence and what I am
wondering is, is there a way to map the voices in the GUS to
particular midi channel so when I set the output port for the track in
Cubase to Ultrasound Midi Synth and the channel number to <nn> I can
have different voices on different midi channels. I think the word I
am looking for is multi-timbral. Any help will be appreciated.

Will the settings in the MIDI mapper have any bearings on what is
going on ?

Yours Completely In The Dark,

I've never used the GUS' MIDI interface for reasons below, so I can't
comment on it, but...

Yes, the GUS will happily co-exist with a dedicated MIDI card.  However, I
suggest you get a MusicQuest MIDI card.  They are more powerful than a
standard MPU-401, but are 100% compatible at the same time.  I'm currently
using their older standard single port card in my system and it works
great.  They also have a dual-port card, single port with SMPTE, and dual
port with SMPTE.  Their prices are reasonble, too.  Their high end dual
port card with SMPTE sells for well under $200.  The single port card I
have would probably be well under $100.

I use Cakewalk Pro 2.x and have one output defined as the MIDI
card, and the other as the GUS Synth.  Basically, it's just like having
another external MIDI sound module, just built-in to the computer.

I'd just like to hear how well it works once you get it working.  I believe
there are drivers, known as the manley drivers.  But that's probably what
you've already done, and you just want midi and wav software, right?  Wouldn't
standard x apps work?  Like the ones that come with a Sun or whatever?

I've often thought of switching to linux but didn't want to mess with all
the hassles of finding all the software, installing it, maybe not getting
my GUS to work, as well as the other special hardware (my esoteric
1280 non-VGA-compatible video board, the jury rigged hard drive setup 
(I have both an RLL card and an IDE in the same system, with the IRQ
disabled on the IDE and a special driver for DOS that allows them to
coexist), etc.  And then I'd have to start all over with all my other
applications too.  I doubt there's a good freeware substitute for 
let's say Corel Draw or MS Word.

After finding out that my reversed l/r channel problem with
DOOOOM *was* my speakers (turn the inbuilt amp on, no probs-
play with the amp off and the channels are reversed), I find 
I have a "real" problem to ask the GUSites of the world.

I have the CD version of Inca 2, running on a panasonic drive
with its own AT bus card.  The audio out is plugged into the 
GUS's CD in.  The game just won't load with any version of SBoS
running, and can't find a SB when I try to use Megaem's SB emu-
lation.

Anyone else trying this game?

Just spoke to those tech guys at Software Toolworks and I was told that the upgrade to allow MegaRace to use the GUS will be a software patch and is supposed to be out real soon (if its not out already). If anyone sees it on any of the BBS could you put it onto EPAS thanx. ( I'm dying to buy the game and play it with GUS sound) . 

Regarding Pacific Strike, its surprising to see that Origin is using EMS again, which means the game works with MEGA-EM...the music's really good with GM emulation but the digital sounds and Speech crashes quite often or just disappears during the game. Anyone else has this problem? If someone manages to make it work properly..please post how. I hava a really old Sound Blaster (v1.5) in the same computer (could be the problem?)

Subject: Midisession not a good supporter

I was using the MidiSession program which came with the gus, and I 
noticed that it's not a very good patche cacher than I expected. I was 
playing a midi when the sound paused, while it loaded new patches. Even 
though there was still memory on the gus to load all the patches in the 
first place, it didn't and had to pause. When I use MediaPlayer or 
Playmidi, it works fine, never pauses, and doesn't report low memory.

Even worth, is the pause before playing a song (with MidiSession) when 
you click play, you have to wait for the patches to be loaded. Thats 
normal, but the problem is that the program still continues playing the 
song as if the pats were already loaded, which causes the beginning of 
the song to be skipped.

Not even the included programs run perfectly!!

Message-ID: <ce.1453.500.0CCCBB52@vidgame.com>

Ultrasound said they would make patches available on disk for a price.
Are these new patches?  Compuserve has some available whose files are
dated March '94, but seem to be the same patches as before.  Can we
expect a new (and in some cases, better) bunch of default patches for
General Midi?  Using RAM is great, since you can upgrade, and despite
some terriffic patches on some bulletin boards, it is obvious that we
need some better quality ones for instruments like "STRING ENSEMBLE I"
(middle C down gets real brassy, loud, and seems to change location).

Can anyone recommend where I might be able to find some alternate
orchestral patches?  Some percussion instruments and sounds seem to be
needed (at least I need them) like small and large Chinese Gongs, also
known as the Tam-tam, finger snaps, etc.

Lastly, has anyone tried the Howling Dog patches now being advertized?
How are they?

Nah, MIDI in uses whatever IRQ you have the MIDI card set to.  NMI is used
mainly for parity errors, but can be used for other things, too.

In fact, the IRQ on the MIDI port is only used for input data, so it makes
sense that, if you have an IRQ problem, it's only going to pop up on MIDI
input.

This sounds like an IRQ conflict or a device driver conflict to me.

Are you sure you don't have the Windows MPU-401 driver loaded?  You
should use only the GUS software with the GUS.

Also, I'd stay away from IRQ 2/9 (if you're using it).  That's reserved
for EGA functionality (typically backward compatibility for older
software), but I've had trouble using that IRQ even when I knew my
video card wasn't configured to use it (I don't need it).

> Also, I still get skipped notes when playing midi files under windows
> (using Winjammer), I have the windows drivers from GUS0039 (or was it

Again, this kind of strange behavior sounds like device driver conflicts
or hardware conflicts.  If you make it a habit to load SBOS at every boot,
I'd stop doing that.  I only load SBOS when needed (not very often).

Propats are a collection of large (very large) patches that can
be used in place of the ones that are supplied with the GUS. These
patches have obviously been lovingly put together by someone who
cares more about the sound of music than the practicality of the fact
that the GUS has only 1meg of memory. Most of the propats use .25 to
 5 meg, thus leaving room for 2 or 3 instruments. By contrast the
typical patches supplied with the GUS are 10k-60k.  The supplied
patches are acceptable in a wide variety of uses, but for real music
they tend to be lame - listen to the Grand Piano. The initial hit
sounds OK, but the decay is awful - it shoulds like a $30 casio.
The propat version of Grand Piano sounds just like a GP from low
notes to high - it's amazing.

I know that I speak for most in the Music digest when I state that
these propats are the best reason around to get a GUS with more
memory.

I've been able to solve my static problem with my patches, and may be of help

	First, I would like to say 'thank you' to the one who make a phone
   call for me about purchasing GUS.  I have a version 3.7 GUS installed
   on my 386 DX-33 almost ten days. At most time it does a nice job without
   any problem. But sometimes it performs oddly. And I try to solve the
   problem. Followings are some of my experiences: (hope it will help)

	1. The music of EPIC Pinball is excellent, but the sound effect is always
		not continuous. After I change my system clock speed from SCLK/5
		to SCLK/8 , the problem all disappear.  Also, I find that the sound
		effect always come from left speaker and music always come from right
		speaker. I used a SBPRO with this game before ,and the sound come
		from which speaker depends on which ramp you hit. It's a good idea,
		but I don't know why the author doesn't adopt this idea when he wrote
		the program for GUS!?

	2. I try to install Microsoft Works CD title using a double speed Mitsumi
		FX001D ,but when I run the demo the sound stop after 5 seconds. I
		thought it was hang. But after I open the CD door ,it says something
		like this 'can not read d:' (d: is my CDROM). Then I closed the door
		and double click the mouse on 'retry' button. And the BUSY LED of
		CDROM lights up again. But after few seconds pass it stop again.
		I do the procedure above again and again, and it runs intermittenly.
		I allocate DMA7&IRQ7 for GUS and DMA5&IRQ10 for Mitsumi. I think maybe
		Windows 3.1 don't know IRQs larger than 7, and I change IRQ of Mitsumi
		to 3. It's also not of use.  Then I change DMA of GUS to 1 and it runs
		smoothly but sounded weird and robotic! At last, I adapt DMA of GUS
		to 6. Increditably ,the sound is so clear and no more problem again!
		My friend finds one thing that when he plays CD audio and runs playmidi
		at the same time ,CDROM will be stopped (He use the same brand and
		version of CDROM and GUS as mine). I think both these two problems
		may be resulted from conflicted DMA between CDROM and GUS. Is there
		anyone having any opinion about this ?
		note: I bought a CD title named 'Great cities of the world vol.1&2'
			   yesterday ,and had problem like this. Since I couldn't solve
			   this problem at that time, I returned it back. So I don't
			   know if it resulted from the same reason as 'Works'.
			   And I haven't tried other CD titles ....

	3. I find these lines in system.ini of windows:
		[ultrasnd]   ...   codec_base=0 codec_dma=0 codec_int=0   ...
	   Does anybody know the function of these lines ? I have changed the
		values of these lines ,but it seems that nothing changed!

		Best wishes,

Hi Gussers !
 
 Here's my problem: I get lockups with 3 of my favourite games: Doom(1.2),
 Raptor and the new Epic pinball (the one with the Super Android table). 
 With the first 2 games I thought the problem was the dos4gw 
 dos-extender or the gus soundcode. Then I had the same problem 
 with EP (which doesn't use dos4gw) . So i came to the (false) conclusion 
 that it had to be the GUS: Because when I played the games with NO sound, I 
 still had (and have) those lockups. Then i began changing my bios setup. 
 But...to no avail. 
 Please help me ;-) , perhaps i have overlooked something.
 I have a 486-40 ( Opti) VLB motherboard with the coloured AMI bios
 (11.11.92). I use a VLB controller and a ordinary ET 4000 card.
 No other "special" hardware is present, beside the GUS ;-) .
 So do I have to buy a new motherboard or is there a cheaper solution ? 
 Thankx...Olli
