Art iraida@rpi.edu ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Mar 1995 01:40:40 -0500 From: fta@wbb.com 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! --------------------------------------- | Call me "FRED" | | - Standard Disclaimer - | Toronto, Canada | | - Applies - --------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 26 Mar 95 00:09:12 +0200 From: Yossi Oren Subject: Re: GUS Daily Digest V20 #25 If NDW crashes on you you must be using WAY OLD GUS drivers.

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.
