Set the channel to 10 (Prog 0). Then, a note on the scale will
correspond to a particular percussive instrument. Have fun.

Subject: grr, need better patch maker
hey all, I've had it with patch maker lite. I was ticked when I couldn't
put stereo wavs in it, and now I'm more ticked that it is a war zone of
errors under win95. Now before u go blaming it on poor Win95, realize
the quality of pmaker lite...snicker. Seriously, I need a good patch
making program which allows stereo 16-bit samples and is easy to use, but
powerful. Thanks for any help.

No Sony CD audio connector is not picky and in fact Sony cable uses only
one of the two GND pins too! And disabling CD interface in MAX does not
affect CD audio interface... you can naturally disable CD interface of the
MAX and use interface card that came with your CD-ROM drive and still
connect audio from CD-ROM drive to MAX.

I dunno if it's just me, but I downloaded the "BRUTAL: Paws of Fury"
demo. It uses the HMI Drivers. When I run it, the music sounds
fine, but the digital FX are "echoy", "messy", "not coherent" almost
as if the voices are playing the wrong section of DRAM.
I also have the exact same problem with other programs that use HMI.
(although UAKM, SSF2T and one or two others work just fine). I tried
setting my DMA to 1, and/or 7/5 IRQ's. To no avail.

Your problem may be that ultrinit allows for enabling and disabling of
the CD-in as a command line switch, you need to make sure you enable
it with ultrinit (just like -ej and -dj disable the joystick port,
I am not sure of the switch for the CD-in, but look in your manual).
It is disabled by default. I had the same problem when I first got
my Max.

Subject: GUS MAX and TEAC CD55A
The last few days I saw some postings talking about Teac CD55A and GUS MAX
and I will share my experience too here. I bought Teac CD55A last month and
I have no problem in connecting with the my GUS MAX. What I did was connect
the Teac CD Drive with the panasonic interface and don't forget to disable
jumper3 (jp3), enable jumper6 (jp6) and remove the pin cap from jumper
10,11, and 12.
Connect the audio cable 4pin which comes with the Teac CD to the
mitsumi, but it should be connected the other way around since the ground
cable is inversion compared to panasonic. Install the disk that come with
the drive and get the old or latest driver from the Teac BBS support or you
supplier the driver is Teac_cda.sys. Replace the Teac_cda.sys which has been
installed by the disk with the old or latest driver and set your
autoexec.bat especially for the line /T:2 (type 2 CD drive instead of 0 or
1). The teac driver which come with the installation disk is buggy and it
won't load your CD Drive properly.
By doing all these My Teac CD Drive is running fine with my GUS MAX
and I could get transfer rate around 596k/s. I hope this will help.

Subject: Megaem 3.03b
Hi, I know this may be a redundant question, but I can't seem to turn
down the volume (SB DAC emulation). Is there any reason for this?
Also, how the files on the ftp servers seem to be missing?

Subject: Re: OPTi Chipsets & 16-bit DMA
Hi Gussers!
Someone asked about OPTi chipsets and 16-bit DMA a few days ago. So
here's my own experiences about OPTi chipsets: I have two motherboards
with OPTi chipsets. Older one has 495SLC and it had some problems with
16-bit DMA... I got 2 of the 3 channels to work in DOS but only 1 of the
3 in Windows. Newer board has 895 and it works like a dream... all 16-bit
DMA channels work both in DOS & Windows and it is pretty fast chipset
too. So I'd say that avoid older OPTi chipsets (<- 93) but go for newer
ones.
