True. And I did jump a hole in my ceiling when I got them. 8-))

I don't use ultrajoy, but it did give me a hint : I remembered I had disabled
the joystick a while ago. At the time I had nothing hooked up to my midi-out.
So - I re-enabled the joystick (via the jumper) and Lo! Behold! my midi
problems disappeared!
Odd huh?
> I assume that the MIDI adapter is by Gravis?
Err, well, no. I built it according to the diagram in the FAQ. Anyway, the
problem is solved!

Subject: Multiple patches..?.. How?
How is it possible to use conveniently other patches than the original
General Midi -patches? I wouldn't like to manually edit those .CFG files
always... Is it some software? If so, what is its name, and where could I
get it elsewhere than epas (slow..!!..)?
Tell me also, which is the best patch-editing program and the best digitizing
software....
Thanks!

> Scott Levitt... HOW can bank switching be done?
Right now, there's no way to do it in a MIDI file. You have to use a program
which supports bank switching. The new versions of Power Chords and Power
Chords Pro support bank switching. If you want to play with it, you can check
out the demo version (which was on epas, I don't know if its still there.)
