Anyway, the following is what I have found out about it so far: - Complete installation of new patches over the old ones (3.1f) I'm not sure if they are better or not, but they are newer. - New Patch Manager that supports multiple banks, playing samples from disk, and modifying your ini. (Really nice) - New windows drivers that have DMA buffering (Seem to work better, especially with MOD players) - New GUSMOD (haven't tried it out yet) - New playmidi (with cool logo), and playfile (both seem to work including recording) - New MIXER that has percentage volume labels - New SBOS (haven't tried it out yet either, I had 3.something) - New ULTRASND.INI including bank names like MPB uses I think that is everything that I have found so far. Overall, I would say that everyone should get this upgrade especially if you write or listen to MIDI music through DOS or Windows. The new Windows features for modifying your .INI file, buffering the DMA, and support of multiple banks have already allowed me to make better use of all my patches.

I've been GUSsing for a fair bit of time now and (like many of you I'm sure) am becoming a trifle irritated at the 1MB limit on the GUS. You know, either lost tracks or wrong instruments in MIDI in games. I was just thinking, is it possible for a program (a TSR usable in both real and protected mode) to be written that: 1) Sets aside memory within the mainboard RAM to store patches. The amount of this memory is user-adjustable according to the resources of the machine concerned. 2) Intercepts MIDI requests for particular instruments, checks to see that it is already in GUS memory, if not, DMA it. It might possibly hold a table of the most frequently used patches so that newly DMAed patches only replace the less frequently used ones. 3) Possibly hold a compression/decompression algorithm for the patches. This can be switched off by the user in case the machine used is not fast enough. Just some suggestions. I'd like to hear from any of you readers on the feasability of this. As far as I understand, in patch-caching, the program/game itself calls patches as it is needed. The purpose of my suggestion is so that those that don't, can function (produce music) equally well. I've replaced some of the original patches with 'better' albeit larger ones. As a result, I lose even more of the music in games like Gabriel Knight. With Gravis's original patch set, only just over half of the patches used in the game can be loaded. I forget the exact figures. gk1.ini lists about 120 patches. loadpats only reports 70+ patches loaded. Anyone know if these patches are loaded in 22KHz? I think that loading them in 44KHz is a redundant use of space. To the programmer of gusdly10, fancy putting an ADPCM on-the-fly compression capability in the next version? And has anyone managed to get their hands on the MIDs for Return to Zork? Nice example of what patch-caching can do for a game. Comments welcome. Phat?

Montemayor" >Subject: What's in latest disk set? > >Greetings, > >Didn't d/l all of the GUS disk sets v3.53. Does this disk set have newer >and better patches? Oh, yess! It's amazing. After shuttling 8MB from EPAS to VM to Mac to PC to disk and back again, I've installed the drivers, and let me tell you... well, wow. The installation was very quick (write THAT down, Origin, $#%) so I thought that nothing really changed. Well, 191 (one-a hunnerd anna ninety ONE) new patches! Better drums with amazing basses, better slap bass, better GUITARS! (although not by that much), a GREAT brass section (63K) and a kick-ass orchestra hit that actually sounds like a mortar bomb hit the orchestra :) The whole thing sounds PRO... I don't think any of my replacement patches are going back in. Oh yeah, and Doom sounds much better (get gus1m and it'll sound even better), it FINALLY has an emulator front-end for newbies (you type E and that's all), the Windows driver got its act straight, AND... (drum roll)... FULL BANK SUPPORT under Windows. That's right! Load Patch Manager (which loads faster now, BTW), and press the BankManager button. She-bang! You can create 1024 banks, including browsing disk patches. Get this! Oh, yes! The new UMax users will be in for much more fun than we had... :) Yossi.

Q1: What problems I might have with the GUS? Only when emulating SB, or everytime? Could these problems be fixed? Q2: Also, I'm using Linux. Will I experience problems in Linux too? The configuration I'm currently using is: VL-BUS i486/33 motherboard with UMC chipset (82c482, 82c206, 82c481) Promise Technology VL-MIO Cirrus Logic CL-GD5426 VL-SVGA Is that possible to get a program in advance that will check the motherboard? Any help will be *REALLY* appreciated. Pls reply by mail if possible. Many thanx in advance, dragos p.s.

Well, I don't know about Canada, but I called Epic a few days ago. I ordered the pinball pack #3, and they said it should ship on the 26th.

I have a GUS set up with a SB16 scsi card and I am having all kinds of problems trying to get them to get along. My SBOS works at bootup, but from there (in Windows) I cannot get them to cooperate. Could someone who has a similar setup send me an e-mail and tell me again what they used. Here is the config I would like to use: GUS A260, I7, DMA1, Int7, Midi 330H SB16 A220, I5, DMA3, Int5, Midi 300H If this works, how do I set up my drives so that all the items work correctly together in Windows?? Right now, my Gus mixer works and the Sb16 mixer doesn't. I am not getting any sound from the SB16 unless I am in my Finale music editor and have specifically chosen an SB16 driver. The whole thing seems to be very messed up. I am about ready to dump all my software out of the machine and re-install it!!! Actually, I'm about ready to remove the SB16 card completely, but I need the compatability to the Finale. Will an AIL driver remedy that? If so, the SB16 is history.

Hi fellow GUSsers !! Is it just me or did nobody really care that the GUS-Mirror in Konstanz died on the 1 24th of May ? For me as a Eurpean Gusser the fastetest (sorry, no backspace here) resort of GUS-Software just went out of service.

KHONG" Subject: NEW: GUS Installation Version 3.53 Summary Summary of GUS Installation Version 3.53 ======================================== The changes here are in comparison to GUS Installation Ver. 3.11 The major changes with this version is mainly with the new patches. Make sure if you've changed any patches that the date is not later than 03-03-94 or 01-18-94. If they are, the installation will just skip over these files with the newer time stamp. The other improvement is in Patch Manager. Now, there is a new Bank Manager for people who have been dying for the ability to switch to a Bank of instruments other than GM. Next, the Windows drivers now recognise GUS+DB and GUS MAX when it is installed. Also, there is the ability to change the buffer on DMA to a maximum of 4096 bytes. For gamers, the new thing is SBOS 3.82. WARNING!!!! Delete SBOSLIB.SBS in /ULTRASND/SBOS or whichever directory before you install. The date on the installation disk is 1/2/80 so when it finds the newer date stamp, it will skip over it. In other words, it will not update your SBOSLIB.SBS and you get the dreaded 'Incorrect SBOSLIB.SBS' error. If you've already installed the new drivers and notice this error, just run the installation again and choose 'Restore Files' and just restore SBOSLIB.SBS The same goes for ULTRASND.INI which is dated 4/14/94. Make sure the date on your ULTRASND.INI is older than this. To correct the problem is just like the above where you run install again and recover the files ULTRASND.INI. There is also a new ULTRAMID 1.11 which should hopefully solve some problems. Another new thing is that there is a batch file 'E.BAT' which allows you to choose the emulation you want. ie. SBOS/MEGAEM/ULTRAMID as well as show which emulation is on. PLAYMIDI now imports ULTLOGO.BMP when it plays MIDI files. So, if you want to change it, just use PAINTBRUSH in WINDOWS and do what you want with it!!! The following are the details of the new files. *REMEMBER* The dates on the old files must be older than the ones stated here. Be especially careful with ULTRASND.INI, SBOSLIB.SBS.

Subject: Serious Hissing probs Hi gussers, I have had my gus since November 1992. I have'nt had problems with it much since then, that I couldnt resolve on my own. Lately I have had with the card hissing when voices are to be played. This is primarily when I use ultramid, in mega-em, the voices stop abruptly and sometimes my machine would lock up. I just noticed this problem recently (I had already installed the gus0041x.zip upgrades), and even upgrading to the gus353x.zip, still continue to have the same problem. My HArdware settings/configurations are: 386dx25 w/ 8 megs ram (OPTI CHIPSET B 9114KVB26, NO DMA probs, before anyway) IDE Drive controller w/ io built in (2S, 1P, 1G(disabled)) Gravis ultrasound (220,1,1,11,5) Blaster (A220,D1,T1,I5) LPT2 Port Cirrus Logic 5422 (1 MB) Digiboard PC-4 (running irq-7 and A108-118) 2400 Baud Modem Under linux I don't seem to have any problems (although I dont have any games with voice). Any Ideas? I can't seem to find a good configuration, and without changing had good results before. Perhaps since LPT2 uses IRQ5 this may be the problem? I have no printer connected to it.

Is it needed to reinstall the 16bit options AFTER upgrading the basic setup to 3.53?

Actually, I've always had good luck with AMD's chips, and the Cyrix SLC's as well (although I've had people swear that they wouldn't run TRUE 486 software, rubbish!). In fact, I'm running an AMD 386 DX-40 right now and haven't had a bit of trouble with the CPU, although the motherboard is one of those "Broken" Opti/UMC motherboards. However, the Cyrix 486DX series chips made last year have a major bug in the math co-processor that only showed up in protected mode, so you might beware there...But they have been supposedly been made aware of this bug and fixed it.... *--------------------------------------------------------------------* |John Fulmer(jfulmer@databank.com)| "I find it in-ter-es-ting, * |Micom Computer Systems | A noun's a person, place, * |Lawrence, Ks. | or thing..." * *--------------------------------------------------------------------* ------------------------------ End of GUS Daily Digest V13 #24 *******************************
