Hi all,

I'm new to the list and did check the FAQ about this.  Is anyone working on
a Unix driver for the GUS??

thanks

I have ported an audio processing system, called Csound, to OS/2 and DOS from
unix/NeXT. I need a small group of people to try it out for some time before 
I have it uploaded to an ftp site.

Csound is a sophisticated audio compiler that supports many kinds of synthesis
techniques. Instruments are described in an "orchestra" file, and events in
a "score" file. Csound generates a single wavetable suitable for playing on 
your GUS with playfile. Csound can also read standard midi files and render
the entire composition as one wavetable.

What you need: Some familiarity with sound synthesis and digital signal
			processing.
		   A 386 or better - and preferably a math co-processor.
		(Actually - a 387 is *necessary* for it to work under DOS -
				  but not for OS/2)
			   Lots of disk space 
			   Time (it's complicated - but has a 190 page manual).

Please contact me via email.

Thanks - and happy GUSsing!

To: Ultrasound Daily Digest <ultrasound@dsd.es.com>

I've not got a GUS yet. They're just appearing in England.

Firstly...

Does anyone know if the free Midisoft thing applies to the UK, and if
so, when it will be available here? No-one here has heard of it as far
as I can tell.

Secondly...

My prime use of the GUS will be for composing. It is essential that I
can print out the compostions in standard notation. Are there any
packages that will print staves from a midi file (shareware preferred,
dos/windows not fussy).

Thanks in advance,

Jase.
