Subject: ADPCM with GusMAX?

Well, gee, I have been playing with my GusMAX for the past few days, and
so far, I can only play/record ADPCM samples with USS!

I tried playing an ADPCM compressed WAV with Media Player, and with the
included Sound Station, and it says the driver doesn't support this
format.  This is WACK.  No ADPCM support in the MAX Windows drivers????

Even Playfile doesn't know what to do with them.

  Just to let all of you know, the IRC conference #gus now has a permanent
(we hope) bot, called GusBoT.  Next time you're there, check it out!

Subject: GUS MAX upgrade?

Soo...I got a reply from the Gravis tech support that a GUS MAX upgrade 
isn't available now, but will be "very soon"...now that we have missed so 
many digests, does anyone know if it is available yet?  I would REALLY 
like to know...

Subject: GUS upgrade to 1MB

Hello out there is Ultrasound land. Have heard rumors that Gravis supplies
the memory chips to do the upgrade at a reduced price. Is this true, or if
not where is a good place to start shopping for these ?
Also looking for a MOD composer. Any ideas on software for such ?

Subject: MIDI controller messages

 I'm just starting to fool around and tinker with MIDI files with my 1mb
GUS. I'm wondering if anyone has a list of all the MIDI controler codes
for the Gravis(pan, volume, sustain, and the such....).
									   Thanks.....

That's great.  I was wondering what the heck was going on.  First Epic 
says they are not going to give any release dates because they had 
learned their lesson, then they start pushing OMF like mad, and stamp it 
June 15th, and then they don't release it.  And after saying they would 
support the GUS in all their new games after Pinball, they follow 
through with Xargon, and Traffic Department.  I think TD is quite a 
decent game, but the sound sucks with SBOS.

Does anyone know what id software is doing to the GUS support in v1.4 I 
have heard a rumor there will be Patch Cashing.  That should make it 
sound MUCH better!
