There is such a beast but I cannot recall it's name. It is basically a 
software synth. It will take
a MIDI file and instrument patches (sound samples) and compile it into a .AU 
file (or similar).
It was discussed in a Usenet MIDI conference some time ago.

Connecting line out to line in would have given better results or as pointed 
out else where on some GUS's this can be done internally.

indy 2? did you mean Nascar or the add-on of IndyCar?
However, what you've done is completely wrong, you're using the
16bit ail driveres while the indy series used 32bit ail drivers.
get ail321X.zip (x is a number) from the gus ftp sites and follow the
instructions. Nascar has native support so you don't need to patch anything.

Operating System: HP-UX A.09.01 A

I have an Adaptec 1542B SCSI controller and a Ultrasound.  The 1542B
is my boot device, and, while the card has strappable I/O addresses,
the BIOS ROM is hard coded to use address 330.  This conflicts with
one of the address on the Ultrasound, and causes problems (Sound
Blaster emulation doesn't work.)

I know I can't be the only one who has this problem.  Has anyone found
a way around it?  I've tried Mega-EM, but that doesn't work (software
still doesn't see a SoundBlaster.)

Thanks.

Two drawbacks with using the GUS for percussion:
1) Percussion takes up a lotta memory... especially cymbals.  If you want a 
big kit, you may not be able to use any other instruments.
2) The inherent noise level from the GUS... Even with 16-bit samples, you're 
gonna get hiss.

I have a Dr-660 and am very happy with it.  Considering the price, it's the 
one to get... worth the extra cash over the Alesis model.  It's got lots of 
good, workhorse sounds, and some great effects.

-is there a way to run a Soundblaster and a GUS in one computer at
-one time ?
-so i can use the Soundblaster if the Game does not support GUS (Magic
-Carpet) and SBOS ?
-Is there a way to "switch off" the GUS ?

I have a GUS MAX and an SBPRO in the same  machine.
All is well. At first they would not play together, but after minor 
adjustments it worked fine.

I have the SBPRO on port 220, irq 5 and DMA 1.
The GUS is on port 260, irq 7, dma 7. I was told to put the gus on a port 
other than 220/240 so there would be no confusion on the part of the software 
as to where the soundblaster was. The higher dma was reommended for quality. 
Not that I'd know the difference... (higher DMA's are #7 and up)

So far it's choked on Strike commander (the digitized sounds cut out) and 
Privateer - can't seem to see _either of the cards_. No biggie tho'. I've 
merged the cards successfully with Tie Fighter, and Armada. They sound just
wunnerful. I think I did it with sc2k as well...

As to switching off the GUS, if the driver's aren't loaded, it ain't there. I 
have a multi-config program, so if I want to cut out the GUS, I just reboot 
with a setting where the gus drivers are left out. Seems to work fine.

Just make sure both cards have different io-adresses and 
irq's. then there should be no problem.

You don't need to, just don't load sbos or mega-em and it should work
just fine.

Well, I have SoundBlaster Pro running with my GUS and it works
perfectly. I never had any problems. I have SBPro at the default
settings and switched my GUS to address 240. It works great to play
MIDI through the GUS and DIGI through the SBPro (ex. Ultima8) - though
I hardly use my SBpro nemore as most games work and sound better with
GUS in native or emulation mode.

I have the SB hooked up to the INLINE of my GUS.

------------

In the same go I want to mention for those who haven't got Warcraft to
work with GUS that I got it to,work with SBOS using the "-x2"
option. It worked nomatter what memory configuration I had running,
but the speech was less cracky with a clean startup (no memory
manager).

I heard a rumour that there is a GUS patch floating around somewhere!

This is really the only practical way to do it.  Essentialy, you playback
the MID file, and record what it sounds like.  MID is sequencing
instructions, and instrument assignments.  It has no audio data whatsoever -
it's the job of the synth to supply sounds as instructed in the MID file.

AU is a straightforward digitized audio file, that is nothing *but* audio
data.  The two file formats represent completely different kinds of data. 
It's like the difference between PostScript and GIF.

You don't need to do any fancy cable-jumping to record a MID file with a GUS
3.4 or newer.  Play the MID file, and record the line-in with the WAV
recorder.  The GUS mixer will route the synth output to the line input.  You
have to have the record and play DMA on separate channels, though.  You can
change it with the GUS setup program.

You can also get better recordings if you record a file to the RAM disk, or
directly into memory.  Recording to disk introduces skips.

Since the .MID only has note on/off messages, and does not contain the
samples that it plays (these are in the .PAT files), a direct
converter seems unlikely. I guess your method of recording a .WAV
*could* have worked - if it is noisy, then that sounds to be some
sort of electrical problem looping the GUS output back to its
input. Is it more noisy than when you record other things - remember
that you only have 8-bit recording on a standard GUS? How about taping
the output and then recording the playback of the tape in a second
operation? Converting your .WAV to .AU should be possible as long
as the converter correctly takes account of stereo/mono, sampling
rate, signed/unsigned, 8/16-bit. Screeching and static sounds like
what you might get if the signed/unsigned option is wrong. I guess
when you say you play with Mosaic, you mean using a 'viewer' program
which Mosaic is configured to use for .AU files - I didn't think
Mosaic could play .AUs by itself.

If you want to do that and you are into hardware a little bit, then
you are better off building your own interface.

Your CD-Player probably has a serial digital line-out hasn't it ?
So you must make something that shifts the bits into a shift register
anyway, so that you have the 16 bits in parallel.
If you want to use the GUS to read those 16 bits in the computer, then
you have a big problem synchronizing the two.
You can much easier read the data with a simple 8 bit interface (the
parallel printer port could do the job, if it can keep up with the
175Kb/sec coming from the CD-ROM drive).

Now you still don't know where the 16 bit lines are, sorry :-)

If you want to do it for fun then do it, but if you want my advise, you
should really consider what you want to do with the samples.  I wrote
my READCDA program, sampled a little with it, and found that making
your own patches is not so simple. It takes a lot of time, which i
don't have enough for all the things i want to do. Try getting a good
sample through a friend, play with it and see if it is really worth
it then build your interface.

Subject: comparison between gusMAX and gus

it has been suggested to me by Emory Macfee (yes, i'm horrible at 
spelling names!) that others may benefit from a message i sent someone 
today, so i'm forwarding the same message (only slightly doctored to 
protect the innocent) to the list... the message follows:

As per your questions, the difference between a gusMAX and a regular gus 
card deals mostly with the recording, but there's a few more features.  
The gusMAX has 16-bit recording whereas the gus has only 8-bit recording 
and the recording quality of the 8-bit gus is not that great, even for an 
8-bit adc.  The MAX also offers an attenuator for the line input and for 
the cd input lines (meaning you can turn down the volume on those inputs) 
and an auxilliary amplifier (preamp really) for the mic input in case 
your microphone does not pick up very well.  The sound recording 
side has adpcm encoding built-in so that the info comes through already 
compressed meaning less cpu time needed and less disk space taken while 
recording.  The playback is the same as with the original gus (no 
audible or measureable differences from what i can test) with only a few 
differences in the drivers (mostly because of the various available 
volume adjustments for the various inputs).  The final difference is in 
the cdrom interface: the gusMAX comes with three different cdrom 
interfaces and sound input lines and you just have to choose which one 
you want to use.  I don't think you can use more than one cdrom at any 
one time though although i haven't tested this.

If you don't have a mitsumi, panasonic, or sony cdrom, or have room to 
use the interface that comes with it (on the bus slots), and if you don't 
need to be able to record or use a microphone with it then you probably 
won't benefit from getting the gusMAX.  I wanted it since i need to use 
the microphone to embed vocal descriptions of my data with my files to 
save me the time of having to read through the whole data file to find 
out what it is, and to record my telephone messages (computerized 
answering machine with a voice/fax/modem).

hope this helps.

Has anyone obtained sound effects from AF?? I can get music using MEGAEM 
and with the AF files set to DMA1 IRQ7 for SFX and MT-32 for music. 
Novalogic has a beta sound file out to try to fix all the complaints 
about no SFX, but I still get no SFX from my 1 meg GUS. Novalogic and GUS 
did support Comanche.. so I'm suprised that AF hasn't been supported. I f 
anyone has any news, please reply.

Subject: GUS and Music

I'm trying to use my PC as a project studio.

The first order of business is to use it as a multi-track recorder.  I
have a GUS Max but don't care for its recording sound quality, so I
record to an outboard DAT and use a PC/DAT interface card to let me
transfer the DAT's tracks into the PC as .WAV files.  This part works
fine except none of my sound file editors will recognize the interface
card/DAT combination as a soundcard, so I still have to use my GUS to
play the files.

Most of my recordings are acoustic instruments so I don't use midi yet.
But now I need a drum machine.  Are there any natural sounding drum kit
patches for the GUS Max?  I'm also looking at the Boss DR-660 and Alesis
SR-16 drum machines.  Can the GUS Max compare to them in sound quality?
Can someone recommend drum patches that sound good and a good
quality/reasonably-priced sequencer software package?  Once I have a
sequence programmed, can I capture the midi data stream directly to a
 WAV file or do I have to play it analog and then record it to either
the DAT or the GUS Max's recording input?

I've also played with a few software mixers/editors.  Goldwave is a nice
shareware program but only handles files that will fit in RAM.  Cool is
crippled in its shareware form and doesn't handle recording and
multi-tracking very well.  WAVElite is a joke; I can't even get it to
recognize the GUS Max's 48 kHz sampling rate.  SAW is professional
quality software (it is not cheap) that does everything I need but,
though it is supposed to work with MPC soundcards, it seems to prefer
Turtle Beach and DAL's boards; it has problems with the GUS Max.  Also,
SAW likes Windows to run without the memory manager and the GUS windows
driver needs the manager.

Are there any other multi-track mixers/editors that I've missed?  Is
there any way to get SAW running with the GUS Max?

Thanks for all comments!

Hi,

is there a way to run a Soundblaster and a GUS in one computer at
one time ?
so i can use the Soundblaster if the Game does not support GUS (Magic
Carpet) and SBOS ?
Is there a way to "switch off" the GUS ?

Hmmmm. I don't think this is a true; I think the GUSMax has 1 MB of memory
same as the GUS. In addition, the GUSMax uses funky memory chips of 512K each
whereas the GUS uses "normal" 4x256 chips...

Ultramid works just fine for me in a DOS VDM using the Manley drivers (it worked
fine using no drivers, too). I did have to use DMA channel 1 to get some DOS

Hello, I have a problem with the music in doom2, levels 13 and 14. I get
like this static noise from certain intrments, but this only happens in
doom2. I want to change the DMX settings (like ultramid.ini cept its in
the wad file). Now I found a wad file called DMXGUSC.WAD or something that
had the default insturments to be loaded , only problem is it sounds like
shit! The wrong insturments are being loaded for all the levels. My
question is, is there a way to pull the DMX settings from the main wad
file? Then I could change the 2 insturments that are giving my trouble... 
btw I have a 1mb gus. I figure I could just copy whatever names of the
patches I want in my \ultrasnd\midi\ directory... but I'd have to find out
what ones...... thanks..

what "woes" do you have? if you have an empty slot, buy a cheap multi-cd

since you're using original gus, look for an old/used vga video card
and take out its memory (those 4256 chips) and put into gus, but you need
6 of them tho.  sure you will benefit from upgrading since you can play
more instruments at once and some games seems not stable when you have less
than 1 meg ram, and megaem will sound better if you have more ram to store
the instruments.

yup, actually the registered version uses ultramid to emulate
GM in a dos box, very nice indeed.  but do you have v1.12?  I used
1.12 and got lock up so i dug up the older ultramid (v.1.11)
in the ultrasound experience cd and it worked really fine.

no, see my post above. you don't have enough memory to hold enough
patches, so megaem loads a very small subset of instruments and that's why
megaem sounds funky.  if you installed the windows drivers and played
around with patch manager you will see loading a patch requires 20-30k
of memory.  Too bad the gus can only have at most 1 meg memory installed.
however, sbos *ALWAYS* sounds funky since it's not hardware adlib emulation.

There are CD-ROM daughterboards for the ordinary GUS, while I think
the GUS MAX comes with several interfaces. Personally, I prefer a
separate SCSI interface than anything attached to a sound card.

As for the CD Audio connector, surely all GUS have these? It's not
an external connector - it's just 4 pins in a line on the board
to which you can connect a cable from the CD-Audio-out pins on
the CD drive. (Getting the right cable is most peoples problem -
R and L are the outside pins, with two grounds in the middle.)

  Well alot of music files will sound right unless you have a full meg of
memory, if you listen to and mod music, you can only use those with less
than 256K of samples. Midi files will also sound better w/1meg, since you
can then usually load more instruments at 16bits, instead of 8bits reduced
patches you can't even load some midi files with only 256k.

  For games, some will not sound 'right' with only 256K, such as The Horde,
where if a Hordlin steps into the water the sound will be a garble instead
of a splash.  Games like DOOM will have enhanced music.  And games with
genmidi will sound much better when you can load more instruments.

  As for price I found a local store that sold the chips for $8 each
Canadian, so I spent $48+gst for my upgrade, so check around.

  Your gus is better and easier to live with when you have the full meg.

Don

Hi Gussers,

I just got a Philips CM206 Dual speed CD-Rom drive and the
7th Guest v1.4 I believe. I installed the install part of
The 7th guest on my stacked (4.0) drive, put the gravis
adv's in the dir and edited the groovie.ini file to use the
adv's. I run ultramid 1.03 with options -l -c1000 -m80 from
my autoexec.bat to be able to have enough free base mem.
(576K). I use Himem and emm386. 
My problem is this:
When I start the 7th guest everything goes fine. I then
start a new game -> demo starts. Great music, but then the
speech starts. it is clear but it sounds like some static is
influencing my card. It has big scratches from time to time.
It's only in the speech and I haven't had this with other
games so far. It makes the speech annoying to listen too and
so blews the game.
Has anyone else had the same problem and how did he/she
solve it? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Martinus.

With all versions of UltraMID beyond 1.08, make sure you set DOS_HIGH
off for the session.  With this setting, I haven't had any problems
at all.  FYI, this was discovered purely by trial and error.

This is really the only practical way to do it.  Essentialy, you playback
the MID file, and record what it sounds like.  MID is sequencing
instructions, and instrument assignments.  It has no audio data whatsoever -
it's the job of the synth to supply sounds as instructed in the MID file.

AU is a straightforward digitized audio file, that is nothing *but* audio
data.  The two file formats represent completely different kinds of data. 
It's like the difference between PostScript and GIF.

You don't need to do any fancy cable-jumping to record a MID file with a GUS
3.4 or newer.  Play the MID file, and record the line-in with the WAV
recorder.  The GUS mixer will route the synth output to the line input.  You
have to have the record and play DMA on separate channels, though.  You can
change it with the GUS setup program.

You can also get better recordings if you record a file to the RAM disk, or
directly into memory.  Recording to disk introduces skips.

Since the .MID only has note on/off messages, and does not contain the
samples that it plays (these are in the .PAT files), a direct
converter seems unlikely. I guess your method of recording a .WAV
*could* have worked - if it is noisy, then that sounds to be some
sort of electrical problem looping the GUS output back to its
input. Is it more noisy than when you record other things - remember
that you only have 8-bit recording on a standard GUS? How about taping
the output and then recording the playback of the tape in a second
operation? Converting your .WAV to .AU should be possible as long
as the converter correctly takes account of stereo/mono, sampling
rate, signed/unsigned, 8/16-bit. Screeching and static sounds like
what you might get if the signed/unsigned option is wrong. I guess
when you say you play with Mosaic, you mean using a 'viewer' program
which Mosaic is configured to use for .AU files - I didn't think
Mosaic could play .AUs by itself.

If you want to do that and you are into hardware a little bit, then
you are better off building your own interface.

Your CD-Player probably has a serial digital line-out hasn't it ?
So you must make something that shifts the bits into a shift register
anyway, so that you have the 16 bits in parallel.
If you want to use the GUS to read those 16 bits in the computer, then
you have a big problem synchronizing the two.
You can much easier read the data with a simple 8 bit interface (the
parallel printer port could do the job, if it can keep up with the
175Kb/sec coming from the CD-ROM drive).

Now you still don't know where the 16 bit lines are, sorry :-)

If you want to do it for fun then do it, but if you want my advise, you
should really consider what you want to do with the samples.  I wrote
my READCDA program, sampled a little with it, and found that making
your own patches is not so simple. It takes a lot of time, which i
don't have enough for all the things i want to do. Try getting a good
sample through a friend, play with it and see if it is really worth
it then build your interface.

Subject: comparison between gusMAX and gus

it has been suggested to me by Emory Macfee (yes, i'm horrible at 
spelling names!) that others may benefit from a message i sent someone 
today, so i'm forwarding the same message (only slightly doctored to 
protect the innocent) to the list... the message follows:

As per your questions, the difference between a gusMAX and a regular gus 
card deals mostly with the recording, but there's a few more features.  
The gusMAX has 16-bit recording whereas the gus has only 8-bit recording 
and the recording quality of the 8-bit gus is not that great, even for an 
8-bit adc.  The MAX also offers an attenuator for the line input and for 
the cd input lines (meaning you can turn down the volume on those inputs) 
and an auxilliary amplifier (preamp really) for the mic input in case 
your microphone does not pick up very well.  The sound recording 
side has adpcm encoding built-in so that the info comes through already 
compressed meaning less cpu time needed and less disk space taken while 
recording.  The playback is the same as with the original gus (no 
audible or measureable differences from what i can test) with only a few 
differences in the drivers (mostly because of the various available 
volume adjustments for the various inputs).  The final difference is in 
the cdrom interface: the gusMAX comes with three different cdrom 
interfaces and sound input lines and you just have to choose which one 
you want to use.  I don't think you can use more than one cdrom at any 
one time though although i haven't tested this.

If you don't have a mitsumi, panasonic, or sony cdrom, or have room to 
use the interface that comes with it (on the bus slots), and if you don't 
need to be able to record or use a microphone with it then you probably 
won't benefit from getting the gusMAX.  I wanted it since i need to use 
the microphone to embed vocal descriptions of my data with my files to 
save me the time of having to read through the whole data file to find 
out what it is, and to record my telephone messages (computerized 
answering machine with a voice/fax/modem).

hope this helps.

Subject: GUS and Music

I'm trying to use my PC as a project studio.

The first order of business is to use it as a multi-track recorder.  I
have a GUS Max but don't care for its recording sound quality, so I
record to an outboard DAT and use a PC/DAT interface card to let me
transfer the DAT's tracks into the PC as .WAV files.  This part works
fine except none of my sound file editors will recognize the interface
card/DAT combination as a soundcard, so I still have to use my GUS to
play the files.

Most of my recordings are acoustic instruments so I don't use midi yet.
But now I need a drum machine.  Are there any natural sounding drum kit
patches for the GUS Max?  I'm also looking at the Boss DR-660 and Alesis
SR-16 drum machines.  Can the GUS Max compare to them in sound quality?
Can someone recommend drum patches that sound good and a good
quality/reasonably-priced sequencer software package?  Once I have a
sequence programmed, can I capture the midi data stream directly to a
 WAV file or do I have to play it analog and then record it to either
the DAT or the GUS Max's recording input?

I've also played with a few software mixers/editors.  Goldwave is a nice
shareware program but only handles files that will fit in RAM.  Cool is
crippled in its shareware form and doesn't handle recording and
multi-tracking very well.  WAVElite is a joke; I can't even get it to
recognize the GUS Max's 48 kHz sampling rate.  SAW is professional
quality software (it is not cheap) that does everything I need but,
though it is supposed to work with MPC soundcards, it seems to prefer
Turtle Beach and DAL's boards; it has problems with the GUS Max.  Also,
SAW likes Windows to run without the memory manager and the GUS windows
driver needs the manager.

Are there any other multi-track mixers/editors that I've missed?  Is
there any way to get SAW running with the GUS Max?

Thanks for all comments!

Hmmmm. I don't think this is a true; I think the GUSMax has 1 MB of memory
same as the GUS. In addition, the GUSMax uses funky memory chips of 512K each
whereas the GUS uses "normal" 4x256 chips...

since you're using original gus, look for an old/used vga video card
and take out its memory (those 4256 chips) and put into gus, but you need
6 of them tho.  sure you will benefit from upgrading since you can play
more instruments at once and some games seems not stable when you have less
than 1 meg ram, and megaem will sound better if you have more ram to store
the instruments.

yup, actually the registered version uses ultramid to emulate
GM in a dos box, very nice indeed.  but do you have v1.12?  I used
1.12 and got lock up so i dug up the older ultramid (v.1.11)
in the ultrasound experience cd and it worked really fine.

no, see my post above. you don't have enough memory to hold enough
patches, so megaem loads a very small subset of instruments and that's why
megaem sounds funky.  if you installed the windows drivers and played
around with patch manager you will see loading a patch requires 20-30k
of memory.  Too bad the gus can only have at most 1 meg memory installed.
however, sbos *ALWAYS* sounds funky since it's not hardware adlib emulation.

There are CD-ROM daughterboards for the ordinary GUS, while I think
the GUS MAX comes with several interfaces. Personally, I prefer a
separate SCSI interface than anything attached to a sound card.

As for the CD Audio connector, surely all GUS have these? It's not
an external connector - it's just 4 pins in a line on the board
to which you can connect a cable from the CD-Audio-out pins on
the CD drive. (Getting the right cable is most peoples problem -
R and L are the outside pins, with two grounds in the middle.)

  Well alot of music files will sound right unless you have a full meg of
memory, if you listen to and mod music, you can only use those with less
than 256K of samples. Midi files will also sound better w/1meg, since you
can then usually load more instruments at 16bits, instead of 8bits reduced
patches you can't even load some midi files with only 256k.

  For games, some will not sound 'right' with only 256K, such as The Horde,
where if a Hordlin steps into the water the sound will be a garble instead
of a splash.  Games like DOOM will have enhanced music.  And games with
genmidi will sound much better when you can load more instruments.

  As for price I found a local store that sold the chips for $8 each
Canadian, so I spent $48+gst for my upgrade, so check around.

  Your gus is better and easier to live with when you have the full meg.

With all versions of UltraMID beyond 1.08, make sure you set DOS_HIGH

I hope I'm not reposting a previous question, but I've looked in all the GUS 
listings and can't find any info on a GUS driver for NT 3.5.   

Anyone able to point me in the right direction or tell me if there is even 
such an animal?

How do you connect the CD audio cable to the GUS if it (connector) has only 
three plugs (after cover is removed from connector) which correspond to 
right, ground, and left. (i think) It's a cable that was included in a 
media-vision kit and connected to a PAS 3d card (has since been removed) 
from a NEC drive.

I didn't use any switches when running ultramid (ver?) and the music / speech 
quality is very good, except for the fact that the volume is the same for both
midi and digital sounds, but i believe there is a way to lower the volume on 
the midi. 

BTW: does T7G freeze for you when you press a key on your keyboard?  Even 
after exiting the game.

Subject: GUSII??

I read the following in the November 21 issue of EETimes and thought this group
would be interested (I accept the blame for all typos):

"At Comdex/Fall last week, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (Austin, Texas) provided a glimpse
of its InterWave architecture, which tries to define a single-chip wavetable-synthesis
processor....
AMD licensed some of its wavetable-synthesis technology from Advanced Gravis, Inc., a
small sound board developer. Dean Grumlose(a marketing manger for multimedia products
at AMD's I/O and network products division) said that AMD wanted a partner so the 
company could bypass any FM-synthesis chip development. `The march is clearly on
to wavetable', he noted.
The first two instantiations of Interwave are the 160-pin Am78C01, with full 
plug-and-play self configuration features, and the 144-pin Am78C02, which dispenses
with plug-and-play to cut costs. AMD has seen early prototypes but doesn't expect general
sampling before mid-1995. The aim is to enable board makers to price wavetable
boards at $200 to $300."

The article also included a diagram of the chip architecture. I have attempted to
draw the figure below.

Subject: GUS MAX and Gateway 2000

I am almost sure that I am going to get a Gateway 2000 P4D-66, the 
regular desktop (that is, non-tower) system.  But before I do, I have two 
questions:

1) Will my GUS MAX fit?

2) Is the double speed CD-ROM it comes with compatible with the GUS MAX?

If someone who has this system, or knows a lot about it, can answer these 
questions, I would be most grateful!  Thanks in advance!

Subject: GUS with Warp!

	Well I'd like to be the first to congradulate Mr. Manley on 
another fine release of OS/2 drivers for the GUS.  I do have a couple of 
questions concerning their complete installation though...

1) After installing Warp (ie. reformatting my HD to use HPFS), do I then 
shell to a Dos box and install the GUS drivers then?

2) A really good idea would be to post a GUS with OS/2 faq, which would 
entail all the necessary settings and installation tips for setting up a 
GUS with OS/2.  It would also be nice to have a complete listing of all 
the Dos box settings for games with the GUS, considering there are quite 
a few of them.

3) I'm having problems configuring my internal modem with my GUS.  Back 
in the olden days when I was using Dos and Windows I had trouble getting 
the right configuration so that my IRQ's wouldn't conflict.  Now the same 
problems seem to follow me in to OS/2.  Has anyone have any suggestions 
regarding the right settings for an Internal modem, GUS and Sony CD-Rom 
IRQ's and jumpers?  Thanks.....

Subject: Linux audio drivers

Greetings to all you Linux freaks :)
I home someone can help me woth this. I recently installed Linux 1.0.4 
from the MCC distribution. It came with version 2.40 of the sound drivers 
(uninstalled). Here's what I did to install them:
cd /usr/src/linux
make config
    (disabled all sound cards except the gus, used 220,11,1 configuration)
make dep
make
    (so far so good, now I booted with the new kernel)
    (now I took the script at the bottom of the README.linux file and 
     saved it as soundinstall)
/bin/sh soundinstall
cat /dev/sndstat

All I got was: No such device. and I can't play anything on either /dev/dsp
or /dev/audio
I tried using version 2.90 of the drivers... same thing.

What am I doing wrong???

Thanks,
Guy

Subject: CD-ROM Testing program

	I have a TEAC C55-A cdrom drive, and I'm unsure whether it is
running full speed.  It should run at 600KB/sec, 190ms, but the only CD
test program (CDINDEX) registered it as 450KB/sec, 300ms without any
cache.  Actually before I was running Novell DOS's NWCDEX program and that
slowed it down to 300KB/sec.  The CD-ROM is hooked up to a GUS MAX and I
heard from someone that they couldn't use 4X drives on GUS.  Any ideas, or
names of better testing programs.

	Also, to everyone saying Ultrasound Experience doesn't work, I
haven't had any problems, the v5.47 drivers haven't given my MIDI files
problems, and DOOM2 works on my system.
	And thanks to the guy who uploaded the WC3DEMO

Except that it's very unlikely that the MIDI music will ever pass the
CD ROM audio pins... :)  So probably better use some test CD which got
signals on the right and left channels only or something like that.

You don't need to enable line-in, you just have to enable output,
which can be done by the ultrinit -o switch.

 Found this on compuserve - I don't own Earthsiege (yet, maybe) so
 I'm just passing it along.
 ***
 I got this directly from inside Sierra, select GUS in the soundset
 program, after it exits, edit the resource.cfg file, set dir music
 driver to A002 from 0, and the port address from 228 from blank.  The
 game should then play fine.  Note, DON'T run with a memory manager,
 himem.sys only.  I tried this, the game did crash once on startup,
 but I rebooted with the mem manager, and it then ran fine, with full
 sound.

Just recently I purchased a GUS for my 486dx-33 with 8 megs ram.  I have
memmaker installed and am using both extended and expanded memory
capabilities.  I am also running stacker 4.0.  I am very pleased with the
sound but have one problem.

	I have the older version of NHL HOCKEY and it only supports ROLAND
or SOUNDBLASTER.  When I load SBOS it loads fine in soundblaster mode but
teh speech is very "SSSSLLLLLOOOOWWW".  When I try to run MEGAEM it comes
up with the little saying that it was installed fine, but then reboots my
whole system.  Why is it rebooting my system?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, I meant ftp.netcom.com/pub/jonin  not ~debry as I previously

Subject: New FAQ v2.02 [94/11/16] Released!

A new version of the FAQ has been released.  It is version 2.02
[94/11/16], and contains some minor changes.  It is called
gusfaq.txt.v2.02 on sites where it is available.  Thus far it has been
ftp'd to epas, and ftp.netcom.com/~debry/ and sent to the mail server and
the GUS FAQ Distribution List.

Also available is a new file called gusfaq.change.v2.02 which contains
only the questions that were changed from the last version of the FAQ.
This file should be avaiable wherever the FAQ is available.

If you cannot get to any of these places, feel free to email me and I
will send you either file or put you on the FAQ Distribution list.

	Well, the second patch didn't work. And guess what, the sound

Subject: Quest for Glory IV

After patching Sierra's Quest for Glory IV game to work with the 32-bit
drivers (the ones everyone was complaining about that was delayed), the
game works.  But problems arise.  Around day 8 in the game, it
crashes with an "internal error" numbered 121 or something, and a bunch
of hexadecimal numbers.  This happens when I try to enter the gypsy camp,
and especially within the castle.  I change the midi and sound effects to
PC speaker (wonderful renditions) and I can enter the places that lead to
the crashes.  Is this problematic with the UltraSound?  My friend has a
ProAudio, and it crashes, but far less often, so it might not be a sole
UltraSound Experience (ouch! I'm in a bad mood).  Is there anything I can
modify in the resource.cfg file that fixes these problems while keeping
the UltraSound as the music and sound effects setup?  I'm really tired of
resorting to PC speaker effects just to walk across a certain room in the
game.  Also, does anyone notice that as the game progresses, it takes
longer and longer to restore a game (about 5 minutes)?  I'd really like
to address these problems to Sierra, but they've disconnected their 800
number.

Subject: SBOS not working....

Hi.

I have been using my GUS for sometime now. Recently I upgraded my motherboard
to a 486 VESA SIS chipset m/b. I didn't change a single config on the GUS and
now my SBOS is not working.

Everytime I run SBOS, I got the error

"The Ultra Sound Port Address is in conflict"  Tried changing the port address
but it doesn't work. Everything else works fine, ie Megaem, Ultramid, native
 ..

Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Subject: WC III Demo and HMI

Hello:
	Got the WCIII demo on CDROM, but no GUS support. I just read in today's
digest (11/18) that it uses HMI drivers and the NASDEMO.ZIP file has
them....all well and good. Now how do you get the GUS drivers to be selectable
with the demo? Can I just copy the GUS stuff over the SB stuff, run LOADPATS,
and  cross the fingers? The NASDEMO didn't run music on my system....will this
still be a problem with WCIII demo?

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

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

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?

You'll need the GUS/Sierra 32bit drivers.  You can find them on the GUS site

But don't worry, the game will work and what a game!

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.

     think they sound a little better than the default patches that come

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

this is not the fault of the drivers, megaem works only in virtual mode,
protected mode is not supported (yet, maybe coming soon),
sbos does not have good results in protected mode games.  Luckily, more
recent games supports gus natively so don't worry a lot,  for NHL94,
i remember there is a patch of something (anyone?), but for me, i'd
just leave those games in cold...

This is not true. This is VERY VERY VERY misleading. The drivers work!
But not entirely.. In both Windows and DOS this game will not do speech
correctly. Syllables are missing from spoken words, it is VERY distracting
and annoying. I've called Sierra several times and they keep saying they
have a solution but they want my address or a fax number to give me the
response. Why the ^#$^ can't they tell me on the phone. This is aggrivating.
I love this game (I played the floppy) but I find it impossible to enjoy it
with
the speech cutting out like it does. I've tried changing settings and all.
If anyone has a REAL solution to why this dosn't work, please let me know.

BTW - I also called Gravis, they never tested the CD version so they said
they couldn't help me. I believe I left my number and all with them but they
havn't called me with a solution, this was 2 months ago!

I almost went and bought a SB Pro just to play this game!!! That's how
dissapointed and anxious I was to play it....correctly.

By using the CD interface card and doing a GENERIC installation, you will

Just use a pair of needle-nose pliers to "GENTLY" pull the pins from the
plug. Put a white wire on each outside pin of the GUS CD IN plug, and the
2 black wires on the center pins.  Make sure the ULTRINIT.EXE command in
your AUTOEXEC.BAT file has the commands to force Line Audio In and Line
Audio Out always on. (I'm not at my GUS computer and can't remember it
exactly, but it's in the manual under the ULTRINIT.EXE section)
Put an Audio CD in the CD drive and run the PLAYCD program that your
installation of the CD put on your H.D. You will hear the CD output
coming out of the GUS. If you find the channels are reversed, (see above
reply) just switch the two white wires.

Hello.
Just a quick question. Recently i noticed some weird type of
uploading some files to Epas. In example, files like:

ASMOD09S.*
DARKLGHT.*
ZAGGLE.*

have been put in some strange mode (binary as it seems), starting like:

=====
       This file is in BINARY format, created by JERMINE at 14-NOV-1994
       18:55:48.33546 bytes.  Checksum = E26F XCRC = B9C8 CRC16 = 408C.
       [*BINARY*128]MThd```^F, etc.........

How smart..... ;(

Help appreciated, thanx.

If the install program didn't add any lines to your CONFIG.SYS, then you
are running an old version which was shipped in OS/2 2.1 and fixed in the
November '93 MMPM CSD referred to in the docs (under exactly this problem).
Either get that file, the OS/2 2.1 SP (which brings the OS up to 2.11) or
Warp.  The location of the MMPM CSD is also given in the docs.

	Hey all, glad to see the digest back! :)

	Anyway, I know that I SHOULD know how to do this, but I simply
cannot get it to work.
	I can't get Windows games to use MIDI correctly.
	I have the MCI MIDI Sequencer installed, and the two GUS drivers
that came with v3.53 of the software.  (I haven't upgraded yet)
When I use Windows's Media Player, it works perfectly, as well as
MIDI Session.  However, I can neither get Entombed (shareware game,
just won't play any music) nor Sierra's Lode Runner (the demo,
crashes when I try to start the first level when I set music on)
to play any music.  Sound effects work great in both games, I've tried
both the Ultra and Ultra1024 MIDI mappings.
	Any ideas?
-Hank

Try MEGAEM instead of Ultramid but before you have to make this little
modification to the DUNE.CFG file
use a hex editor to
change the file dune.cfg to - B6 A8 A9 A0 A1 A6 A4 00 B8 - this sounds great
although I do get the occasional random midi sound played.  This happens

This is not true. This is VERY VERY VERY misleading. The drivers work!
But not entirely.. In both Windows and DOS this game will not do speech
correctly. Syllables are missing from spoken words, it is VERY distracting
and annoying. I've called Sierra several times and they keep saying they
have a solution but they want my address or a fax number to give me the
response. Why the ^#$^ can't they tell me on the phone. This is aggrivating.
I love this game (I played the floppy) but I find it impossible to enjoy it
with
the speech cutting out like it does. I've tried changing settings and all.
If anyone has a REAL solution to why this dosn't work, please let me know.

Well, what I did was disable SmartDrive's caching of the CD before loading
the
game  (smartdrv -e:  where e: is my CD-ROM drive) and all the speech sounded
fine.  No hiccups at all.  I use a 2X CD-ROM...

That doesn't explain why Sierra were being such jerks...  ;}

        You don't have to flame.  If my memory's right, you have to increase
your DMA buffer with your EMM manager.  But I might be wrong!  Remember that
I was away for several months.

I have the same problem with my GUS and GK CD.  The speech problem
doesn't happen often.

I have a SBPro with my GUS, but when I used it for GK CD, I noticed a few
seconds delay before the speech was played (after the written speech was
displayed in the monitor).  I can't stand the delay, so I stayed with
the GUS.

For the last time: :)
You don't need to enable Line In to hear the CD sound!
CD in is always active. You just have to enable output:
ultrinit -o

Hi,

I can't get my GUS to work with Police Quest 4 CD-ROM. I am using the
32-bit Sierra drivers, but the game hangs frequently (always at the same
point: just after the beginning of the intro or after displaying the
Sierra logo at startup). The drivers worked well with Gabriel Knight.

Is there any way to make it work? Any help appreciated!

        What give's with the GUS update on the
        Ultrasound Experience CD?  The readme file
        says version 3.56 is in the gus356 directory,
        but I only see version 3.53 and no gus356

Subject: HMI Drivers - Where is they at?

I've determined that War Wizard ver 2.2 is using the HMI drivers for
digital sound, but they're the older, non Gravis supporting ones.
Where can I find patches/patched versions of the HMI drivers for the
GUS?  If these aren't available via ftp, is there a commercial package
I could buy that has the updated HMI drivers (did someone mention
EarthSiege?)

BTW, WW22 uses DOS4GW, so no SBOS or MEGAEM - QED.

Subject: Manley drivers and GM midi

I wanted to ask about someone's opinion on the GM support of Robert Manley's
OS/2 drivers. How exactly does it work (does it patch cache, does it load a
generic set of patches, does it make YOU load patches before the game, etc?)
Also, is this a one time registration with future upgrades free or should I
wait till native OS/2 midi support is added to register?

My editorial addition there. The GUS card does *not* directly
understand MIDI, so there is plenty for the driver to do.

All the GUS does (with each of its 32 voices simultaneously) is play
a chunk of waveform stored in its RAM, with volume ramping, possibly
looping, and one or two other effects. It's the driver which has to
allocate a free GUS voice to each note (or cut off the oldest note
if you are trying to play more notes than there are voices) and then
switch the card between the attack, sustain, and decay phases of
the note, so there is plenty scope for it to produce 'shit' sound.

That said, I haven't tried the newish drivers yet, so I haven't
seen the problem (if any) first hand.

Many thanks to those who picked up on my suggestion that you
experiment to get your CD-Audio-in cable the right way round
by panning a *MIDI* file. I was going to say e.g. find a CD that
has the violins on the left, or whatever, but that sounded
difficult, so my brain wandered off onto MIDI, which as was pointed
out DOES NOT GO THROUGH THE CD PINS at all!

I've a reasen, it doesn't work with the Mitsumi FX001D drive and/or the
v1.16 drivers. Somehow the drive or the drivers react differently on
a play command when trying to play track 1 (which is the DATA track).
The Mitsumi gives an error, the Panasonic simply ignores the command when
you try to play a DATA track....
I assume the US Experience is developed and/or tested with a Panasonic or
Sony, and not with a Mitsumi.

ok, I need a little help if possible...I bought a new vlb motherboard to 
replace my isa board the chipset is biotecq if that helps and since then 
the following happens:

Tie fighter w/ megaem - perfectly fine

DOOM 2 - if it decides to run it will only run without digital soundfx 
and often it simply does not run at all remapping my dos font size to cga 
or it causes the system to crash...when it does run it either runs w/o 
fx's or runs and gives me 12 little doom2 windows all running in sync 
taking up a total of the top 2/3's of the screen.

raptor (shareware) - ran fine on the old ide harddrive, on the SCSI it 
gives digital glitches and running with sound may cause the system to 
crash or exit the game remapping my dos font to cga. also the joystick 
stopped moving in the down direction when it does run. it's version 1.0 
I'm going to go find 1.1 tonight.

Hocus Pocus - perfectly fine

SBOS - runs and says "sbos installed" as it should but when I go into a 
game that ran fine before getting the new motherboard I either get no 
sound at all or garbled noise....

those are the only games i've tried..been afraid to try anything else
windows runs fine, playmidi is fine,and  iplay is fine. I hope there's a 
solution otherwise I may have to get a second soundboard for digital 
sound (this is an absolute last resort)
if it helps: I have an GUS not a max not sure which rev. board but it's 
about 3 yrs old, v. 3.56 drivers, Dos 6.22, 486 dx50 (yes a straight 50 
not a dx2) with 5 Meg ram. the SCSI is Adaptec configured for hex address 
of 340 and an irq of 12.

Subject: Reading data froma CD ROM

I was very impressed and excited when a few people wrote about the 
software that allows you to extract raw digital info from a CD ROM. No one 
has talked about it since though.....

This is a HUGE piece of news! There are hundreds of CD's available out 
there right now that contain nothing but samples of instruments. These 
are for musicians that have samplers and want to get a sample of 
something so they hook their CD player up to their keyboard and sample 
away. If we can extract data from these same disks and use the sample 
information with the GUS, it opens up a HUGE world of samples to GUS 
users! This would be FANTASTIC!

Maybe I'm way off but from what I read a couple of days ago right here, 
all you have to do is use the software from ftp.netcom.com (/pub/hughem) 
to extract data from a sample CD and then convert it to .pat format.
If I'm way off please tell me but otherwise, think of the possibilities!

All the audio on the UltraSound Experience CD was mixed using SAW and
a GUS MAX (rev 1.7, I think) on a 486DLC(?).  Several passages of the
audio utilize all 4 tracks in SAW.  So, yes, SAW does work with the MAX,

This really should be in the FAQ, since this is about the fourth time I
answer this question.
Once more: there is no Win NT drivers for GUS, and there probably never
will be, unless someone is going to make them him/herself. This was confirmed
from both Gravis and Microsoft. Windows 95 drivers are on their way, but
that doesn't help current NT users with GUS. If someone has time to
program drivers for NT, I would be one to register them for sure.

1) I download patch GUS0042.ZIP, which is updated Windows drivers.  Put 
'em in the windows/system directory.  Ran Windows, still had the problem.

2) Deleted those files in windows/system, ran setup again.  Ran Windows, 
same error.

3) Deleted those files (ULTRASND.DRV and GRVSULTR.386) in windows/system, 
deleted my whole ultrasnd directory, reinstalled the whole software over 
again.  Ran windows, no dice.

4) Re-tried the GUS0042 patch, still didn't work in Windows.  

I don't know what's going wrong here.  Am I the only person who's had 
this error?  It's really annoying, because I'd really like to use 
GoldWave, but it's kinda tough when you can't use your soundcard.  If 
anybody has any more advice, please let me know.  This is really starting 
to get annoying...  Thanks for your help.

I've determined that War Wizard ver 2.2 is using the HMI drivers for
digital sound, but they're the older, non Gravis supporting ones.
Where can I find patches/patched versions of the HMI drivers for the
GUS?  If these aren't available via ftp, is there a commercial package
I could buy that has the updated HMI drivers (did someone mention
EarthSiege?)

BTW, WW22 uses DOS4GW, so no SBOS or MEGAEM - QED.
