- Hey guys.. I posted a similar note on soundcard but recieved no answer..
- maybe some of you can help.
- I've just started making patches & am constantly replacing the
- stock drums -- I recently added that new 808 set & noticed that after
- loading, I'm missing the patches in the upper registers... anyone know
- why? the patches in the ultrasnd.ini are in the proper directory, &
- Cakewalk DOESN'T say that the songs to big to load the patches (I normally
- load my entire drum setup w/a midi file) -- if I use the old ultrasnd.ini
- (w/o the larger replacements) everything works fine, which seems to say
- that there's not enough memory, but nothing tells me this... on a similar
- note, as I load more patches (say a bass & a synth) I lose more and more
- patches from the upper register (moving downwards) -- again, I'm not
- getting any "too big to fit in mem" messages.. which seems odd...
-
- any ideas?
-
- Thanks in advance.

- I am using Cakewalk Pro for Windows and I am having problems w/ the GUS
- dropping events at random. This occurs mostly during fast passages. Like,
- 16th notes at 150 bpm and stuff like that. It just skips over some notes.
- Any ideas on what is causing this? Also, if I decide to use the MIDI port
- instead of the GUS synth, do you think I will continue to have the same
- problems? Is this a problem w/ the GUS drivers or Cakewalk? Thanks. Later...

- Subject: Oktalyzer, Modus, Midi, Trackers, Patches
-
- Well, the header says most of it....
- A few questions:
-
- 1) Are there any GUS 'mod'-players that support Oktalyzer? I've got a
- bunch of these and no player I've got will play 'em... I've tried Modus,
- MDP, Metal, Inertia Player etc...
-
- 2) Am I blind or is there no documentation for Modus on the GUS0038
- disks? Modus is too buggy, too limited and without docs, useless...
-
- 3) I'm in a composing frame of mind, but cannot choose between writing in
- a tracker or going the full hog and attempting MIDI... I've written stuff
- tracker-style for a while, but since I got my GUS I have an inkling to
- use the MIDI. Any comments?
-
- 4) Are there any trackers that use GUS-patches?
-
- 5) Talking of patches, is there a quick patchreviewer availible?
- Something that you can use to quickly scan a directory of patches to find
- the good ones? Using patchmaker is longwinded....
-
- Any comments appreciated.

- Subject: String Patches
-
- I would be grateful if someone posted string patches (violin, viola,
- cello) a little better than those that come with GUS.
-
- Incidentally, it would be convenient if all patches were put in, say,
- /gravis/patches instead of sometimes occurring in /submit and elsewhere.
- Also, I suppose it would be impossible to have an automatic post on the
- digest each day of whatever patches are in stock.
-
- The Bosendorfer piano patch sounds good, though I tweaked it a
- little with Patch Maker. Thanks to its originator. Since it is
- 950K, is there any way to add another K or so to the GUS ram?
