I just installed Pro Pats 3. I'd like to keep them as well the patches of my own out from the ULTRASND\MIDI directory. Actually I'd like to have all my patches stored in different directories related the type of the patches. (basses/pianos/strings/...) Unfortunately it's not possible to assign different bank for each midi channel. (I just liked to select the bank from the CW3.) Has anybody heard about possible future improvements ? Yes, I'm aware of PP3 config possibilities. It's just too messy to copy patches back and forth. I guess, I just have to stick with two or three huge patch directories. Could you give me some ideas on how to take care of swithing the patch directory ? I wouldn't like to restart windows every time I change the dir. The idea of storing the modified bank over the bank 0 in PatchManager is not that bad, but it seems to only change the patch configuration not the patch directory. IS THIS A BUG ? Or have I done something wrong ? ------------------------_____--------- Keep on gussing Timo /tile/ Leivonen ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Feb 95 12:49:01 PST From: "Rod Jones" Subject: Re: GUS and Cubase?

I've got Cubase For Windows V1.02, which seems to be a stripped down version of Cubase Score (V2.5). It's my understanding that no version of Cubase supports patch caching at the moment. I've been in touch with Steinberg-Jones regarding this, and if more people do the same, we'll eventually get GUS support. Lack of patch caching means that using Cubase for auditioning a bunch of midi files is a real pain. However for creative use, I tend to keep an open Patch Manager window for the infrequent occasions when I need to change a patch, and it's not really a problem. I have to say that if I'd known when I bought it that I'd end up buying a soundcard that Cubase didn't support but Cakewalk did.... I'd still have bought Cubase!

Any comments appreciated (I'm planning to > buy a sequencer, maybe Cubase v.2.5, very soon...). > Tuomas, I have a GUS and I am using Cubase Score 1.10. This version uses patch caching. Contrary as with Cakewalk for Windows, there is no need to do specific actions. With CW for W you have to use a 'refresh' function from one of the drop-down menu's. If I were you I would buy Cubase Score for Windows (its expensive) but it works well. I am sure that Cubase v.2.5 will not give caching, may be V.3 Rgrds, Pieter van Horssen pvh@iclnl.icl.nl ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Feb 1995 09:40:46 -0500 From: mbsmm!mpc@uunet.uu.net (Mark Clements) Subject: More Mouse Woes Under WFW 3.11 >>Now that I get V3.57 installed, when I load WFW 3.11, my mouse cursor >>will not show up!
