SOUNCARD.DOC help file
The SOUNCARD.DK file is intended for users who are using Band-in-a-Box
with a sound card that has a TAPI or SAPI driver (supplied with your
sound card or available from PG Music ). This driver lets you use your
sound card as a General MIDI compatible synthesizer .
The sound card drivers require Drum Channel=16 (not 10) and
a patch change of 127 on the Main Screen.
If you have an older SAPI or TAPI driver (before March 1992) it will
be using MT32 and you should load in the file SCARD_MT instead so
that the patch maps will follow the MT32.
If drums don't sound try changing Drum Channel from 16 to 10 or vice
versa .
EXAMPLE : SOUNDBLASTER FM USERS
FIND TAPISB.COM driver (probably included on this disk)
either
1. run TAPISB.COM then run BB .
or 2. type BBSB
(This runs a batch file BBSB.BAT which runs the driver
and then runs BB for you )
3. Press S at the welcome screen inside BB
Select TAPI as your interface Port 1=MIDI port 2=Sound Card
( don't select SoundBlaster MIDI , you will get better results
by choosing the TAPI driver which supports sound card and MIDI
4. remember that the Sound Card wants Drum Channel=16 Patch =127 .
5. If patches don't match up try the SCard_MT.DK which uses MT32
mapping instead of General Midi mapping . ( Older drivers before
Mar 92 used the MT32 Mapping )
