You want sampling and looping? Then get Cool Edit 1.31, which is a Windows
app, from ftp.cica.indiana.edu (somewhere under pub/pc/win3/sounds). You can
do stretching, if that's what you meant at "right length" and loop forever.
Also check out the brainwave syncing function - it's like that mastermind
thing.
As to putting the GUSRAM on the motherboard - it's possible, but think bus. If
you want the GUS to use main memory, it means somebody has to move the sound
data along the ISA (or PCI, if a PCI Ultrasound ever comes out). The GUS needs
to get data for every patch it plays (say 16), 44K times a second. I don't
know the figures, but it wouldn't be easy, and it would PROBABLY tax your bus
like hell - CDROM and HD performance would suffer. For this exact reason video
RAM is also local - moving a meg of image data, 60 times a second, would cause
some trouble.

PS My side on the Warp debate - nobody gives a fuck. As we programmers say, we
have a HARDWARE issue here.
