- I may be missing something obvious, but I was just wondering...
- If the GUS needs patches loaded into its memory, how on earth could you have
- (even with 1MB onboard) more than a few short, CD-quality voices in memory at
- the same time? How could you, say, have a music file with 14.4K voices and
- have any decent number of them at all? ESPECIALLY without the memory
- extension... Even if it loads them dynamically, that must be
- time-consuming... and what if you want to have 32 14.4K 10 second voices
- going all at once? They'd never fit!
