Subject: Changing banks in a midi file

I want to be able to play certain midi files with a different instrument
mapping without having to go to Patch Manager to change banks under
[Andows.  For instance, I have a couple of files that I like to play
with a different piano patch, but I have to go to Patch Manager and
manually switch banks.  These files have only one track, so it's not a
question of having instruments from different banks at the same time.

It is easy to do this in DOS with PLAYFILE by just creating a .CFG file
for the midi file (I think).  How do I do this in Windows, playing midi
files with Media Player, etc.?

In MIDISoft Recording Session, there is an entry where you select the
instrument for a track that says "Bank Number".  When I enter the number
of the bank I want, it still plays using the default bank set in Patch
Manager.

Is there some kind of midi controller event that will cause the GUS to
switch banks?  Any alternatives?  Thanks a bunch for your help!

If NDW crashes on you you must be using WAY OLD GUS drivers.  Get a new set,
say gus0048.zip from EPAS.

I'm not sure whether this is the joystick problem which you are talking 
about, but I find that my joystick is extremely sensitive when playing 
NASCAR

Subject: Play multiple signals w/out mixing

Is the GUS capable of playing multiple stereo signals
simultaneously without mixing?

I want to be able to play these signals on different 
sets of speakers or headphones.  I'd like to be able
to play four different stereo signals at the same time.
And I'd like this to be CD-quality, 16-bit, 44kHz.  

Now that you've stopped laughing...

I know that the GUS can play 14 stereo voices (16-bit, 44kHz) 
at the same time, but is there a way to get at those voices 
before they get mixed into the same signal?  I'm willing to pull
the un-mixed signals off the hardware if need be.

There is also the question of whether the device drivers 
will let you do multiple .WAV file playback (for example) 
at the same time.  Any hints as to stumbling blocks I might 
run into along this route would also be appreciated.

Alternatively, I could use 4 different soundcards at one time.
Anybody ever tried this?  Which soundcards?  How many? Which
operating system?  My application will probably require a 
multi-tasking operating system, but I'd be grateful for 
information on what worked or didn't for others.

Please reply to dpenick@eden.com.  I will compile the 
responses and post them later.

Thanks,

David
