'Scuse my ignorance but exactly what are the ACE's capabilities. Particularly, what is different to the standard GUS. ie. can I still use it for things like demos (eg. Second Reality), MOD/S3M/669/etc @ 44KHz/16bits interpololated ? ------------------------------ From: "VISX80::GRECNER" <GRECNER%VISX80.decnet@musx53.zfe.siemens.de> Date: 31 May 95 10:23:00 MET Subject: Re: Resonant filters anyone? >Might as well join the 'what special effect does this do' bandwagon. :) >Anyone know what resonant filters are and how it would help improve the >sound quality of a wave table sound card. I keep on hearing things that >a hot sound card should have filters... Resonant filters are filters with a very narrow zone of gain at the cutoff frequency. It's bound to the so called filter quality (or simply Q), which is a term taken from analog circuits terminology. By adjusting this parameter you can change the way the filter sounds. Now if you can modulate the cutoff frequency and/or the Q by some MIDI controller or LFO or an envelope, you can achieve some very analog sounding sounds amulating the old moogs and all that analog stuff. And this is basically what are filters and especially resonant filters good for: to do a subtractive synthesis in order to emulate analog synths. If you just want to have sounds of natural sampled instruments, the filter is of almost no use to you. The EMU8000 on AWE32 has resonant filters built in, and it's probably the only sound card for the PC with resonant filters and sample RAM. GUS has no filters at all, and TurtleBeach cards like RIO or MAUI have only nonresonant filters. I'm not sure about the cards with the Ensoniq or Korg chipsets or bout the OPL-4, but all those cards have no RAM samples, so who cares... >Anyone knows if the InterWave chip has this capability? No idea, but I guess no.

I keep on hearing things that > a hot sound card should have filters... Resonant filters let the soundcard imitate "squelchy" analogue 303-style sounds. Frequencies near the cut-off point "resonate" - i.e. get louder. You know the way if you listen to a techno track, sometimes the bassline just repeats the same notes but gradually changes the way it sounds, that's someone changing the filter setting. > I everybody!

There must be some IRQ problem that I can't fix. Did you try >the MIDI port as well ? I tried the MIDI port, both in and out, and it all works. The MIDI port had me worried, as I heard rumours of it not working. I don't know what the answer is if it doesn't for you. I'm using the 3.59 GUS disk set. Does anyone know how Win95 handles MIDI Mapping? There doesn't seem to be anything like the old MIDI Mapper, which whilst complicated was very versatile. >- -tried the GUS software, and Bango! Wav works, and Midi files play fine. >I dunno, folks: am I missing something here?? Seems to me that GUS support is >already in there! What is it that is _not_ being supported here...? Someone else here who may well not have tried the MIDI port. The problem is that proper drivers aren't supplied with Win95, like they are for loads of other cards. You have to use the old Win 3.1 drivers. Clearly it doesn't work first time for everyone - it didn't for me. All I could get was 'error in GRVSULTR.386' every time I booted. Solution was to remove all trace of GUS drivers from SYSTEM.INI, reboot, then do Add New Hardware/Soundcard/Have disk... and point it at \ultrasnd\windows where the drivers and the oemsetup.inf file live. Repeat the process for the two drivers (synth and MIDI port), ignoring any errors that come up on the way. Then maybe add mixer=ultrasnd.drv to SYSTEM.INI to allow the MicroSoft mixer to work. ------------------------------ From: "S.D.Cady" <apx088@coventry.ac.uk> Date: Wed, 31 May 1995 12:01:24 +0100 (BST) Subject: Windows 95 FAQ My question is this, is there an Ultrasound / Windows 95 faq available. At the moment I've got the Windows side of things running nicely with the GUS but I'm having great problems trying to get games/dos based products to work. I know that Windows 95 is still in the final beta stage, and I know that the GUS isn't supported (yet!!), and that Gravis is under no obligation to produce drivers until the final version is out (whenever that might be) but surely someone could produce an faq describing their experiences. Once the final product is released then these questions will still be asked... When I purchased my GUS about two years ago (I've got a v.early card) the box promised '100% soundblaster compatibility' and I've been regretting it ever since. Surely Gravis should be supporting this claim, and providing the same type of software support as Creative Arts are for Windows 95. If Creative Arts can do it then why can't Gravis.

What is it that is _not_ being supported here...? Well, try running games in DOS VMs. Some work, some don't. I think it's because win95 and/or the Gus drivers won't allow DMA accesses in a VM. But The Lion King runs fine in a window. That's why we (or at least I) want a native win95/NT driver. > Hello, can anyone quickly tell me what programs are on the UltraSound > Experience CD.

Well PowerChords isn't there, just a demo of it. > BTW, what ever happened to the 3D sound capabilities of the GUS which Gravis > promised would bring us a new dimension in gaming? Well, as far as I know, the 3D capabilites aren't hardware on the GUS, but are implemented in the software, which is licensed from some other company. Gravis' license ran out and they didn't renew it (AFAIK) so 3D sound works in Doom, and other games that use it, but new stuff probably won't have it. :( Matt - -- +-----------------------------------------------+------------------------------+ |Too young to read the fury in his uncle's eyes | * RAD HOST (Lion King) | |Simba tells Scar all he has learned that day - | * Ask me anything Lion King | | how he, not Scar, will become the Lion King. | related. | | | * FDCMuck Chaka! | | Sly Scar exacts a promise from the cub, | * TLKMuck Chaka too! :) | | a pledge that Simba will never venture near | * X-phile | |the forbidden place where elephants go to die. | * GUS user | +-The Art of the Lion King----------------------+---Matt@machine.demon.co.uk---+ ------------------------------ From: "Ignatius Tam (Mr. Tam)" <itam@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca> Date: Wed, 31 May 1995 10:25:52 -0600 (MDT) Subject: Bye people!

Good day fellow Gussers. . . I'm looking for serious buyers for my NEC 3XI bundle which includes 15 caddies (around $7-$8 a piece mail order), OS/2 WARP on cd (around $65-$70 mail order), and as a bonus X-WING, Imperial Pursuit, and B-WING on 3.5" disks (around $30, $15, and $15 mail order, repsectively), since I now have the cd. The asking price for the NEC 3XI bundle is: $350 -- I'll pay for 2nd day UPS with ground tracking, insurance, and packaging. OR $325 -- The prospective buyer pays shipping, ground tracking; I'll pay packaging All hardware and software are in excellent condition and contain all original packaging and documentation (minus the caddies' packaging). The NEC 3XI has served me well for 10 months and also works well with my AdaptecSCSI controller, GUS MAX rev. 1.7 with 1Mb ram, DOS 6.22, WIN for WGPS 3.11, WIN '95 Final Beta Release and OS/2 WARP (both of which auto-detect the NEC 3XI just fine when connected to a supported SCSI controller i. e. Adaptec). Again, I'm looking for serious buyers please. I would like to help out a fellowGusser, as I'm now in the market for a NEC 6XI for cd graphics and DOS 4/GW protected mode cd games. I'll be happy to set up a 30 day trial period and refund provided that the hardware and software are packaged and received in the same condition as I wouldship them, along with ground tracking.

I have read there has not been good (if any) drivers for gus in X-Com (or UFO, Enemy unknown in Europe), and that the second X-Com didn't manage any better. Should it be time to continue battle for GUS and remind MicroProse of existence of Gravis Ultrasound? Anyhow, MicroProse can be contacted by email at address 76004.2223@compuserve.com. I have already asked, worried of cource, that will the shortly coming game support one of the best wavetable based cards on market.

Well, I don't think the InterWave chip has one, but that type of feature would probably be built into the sound card outside the chip.
