It looks like a pretty cool program. It plays MODS and S3M's in windows. Has anyone got this program to work with the GUS. It says it has GUS support, but I am unable to get it to work. Thanks Steven Wiercinski wiercin2@student.msu.edu ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Feb 95 13:15:41 EST From: "Brian K. Dowtin" Subject: Newbie-ish Patch Cache Question Q: What would prevent someone from writing a Driver or inbetween program (like MidiMapper) that would make the Gus load the patch on the Patch select command. It seems the current setting - assumes that the patches are preloaded. Why not just have some sort of PatchCache Daemon running that traps the "change patch" message and sends the appropriate command to the GUS. This would make all sequencers work and seems to be a more universal solution. I'm sure this has been brought up/discussed/argued/proven/disproven - but it doesn't seem to have been written. :) (i'd just like to know what the current arguments/issues are ) Thanks - `Brian ------------------------------ End of GUS Musician's Digest V12 #46 ************************************ To post to tomorrow's digest: To (un)subscribe or get help: To contact a human (last resort): FTP Sites Archive Directories --------- ------------------- Main N.American Site: ftp.orst.edu pub/packages/gravis wuarchive.wustl.edu systems/ibmpc/ultrasound Main Asian Site: nctuccca.edu.tw PC/ultrasound Main European Site: src.doc.ic.ac.uk packages/ultrasound Main Australian Site: ftp.mpx.com.au /ultrasound/general /ultrasound/submit South African Site: ftp.sun.ac.za /pub/packages/ultrasound Submissions: archive.epas.utoronto.ca pub/pc/ultrasound/submit Newly Validated Files: archive.epas.utoronto.ca pub/pc/ultrasound Mirrors: garbo.uwasa.fi mirror/ultrasound ftp.st.nepean.uws.edu.au pc/ultrasound ftp.luth.se pub/msdos/ultrasound Gopher Sites Menu directory ------------ -------------- Main Site: src.doc.ic.ac.uk packages/ultrasound WWW Pages --------- Main Site: http://www.xmission.com/~grue/gus.html Main European Site: http://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/ultrasound/ Main Australian Site: http://ftp.mpx.com.au/archive/ultrasound/general/ http://ftp.mpx.com.au/archive/ultrasound/submit/ http://ftp.mpx.com.au/gravis.html Mirrors: http://www.st.nepean.uws.edu.au/pub/pc/ultrasound/ MailServer For Archive Access: Email to Email to New Submit Files Mailing List: Email to with content "subscribe epas-list " Hints: - Get the FAQ from the FTP sites or the request server. - Mail to for info about other GUS related mailing lists (general use, programmers, etc.).
