Subject: FT2/MIDI and GUS with R keyb contr

I plan to buy one of the Roland keyboard MIDI controllers, one with
4x midi out, 2x midi in and 1x thru. I'll be using it with my GUS MAX,
SoundBlaster MIDI connector Box and FastTracker 2.

Does anyone know if this combination can work out good ?
I also want to make something professional...

AMD licensed the technology from Gravis/Forte. They'll have to pay for 
this. As far as I know they will still be using all Gravis' software 
(drivers, MegaEm, patchmaker, etc) which they will have to pay for too.

Subject: GUS Microphone input volume
Message-ID: <Pine.S40.3.91.950429005714.3831A-100000@sirius.pixi.com>

I have a Gravis Ultrasound card and just bought a rather basic Labtech
Microphone to play with the Internet Phone program.  The problem I have
is the volume is extremely low.  I tried to test it out using the Windows
Sound Recorder and my voice is barely audible.  Is there a way to up 
the Microphone input volume?  or maybe some sort of mixer program to 
increase the Microphone volume?  Or do I have to get one of those more
expensive microphones that have a built in amp?

Subject: The mailserver, SBOS, and ThemePark

This message is futile... but I thought I might as well join the crowd...

1) mail-server@nike.rz.uni-konstanz.de is down.  They say its "Kaputt".  I
want to know, is this final.

2) Could the reason why the DOS based drivers SBOS and MegaEM aren't
progressing (no insult intended to the programmer, they are fine!  But
development never ends...) is because with the end of MS-DOS, the
emulators are no longer needed (with WIN95)?  Sure, PC-DOS and all could
use them (i think) but Gravis may think that what's out is all that they
need, and can concentrate on WIN95?  Just a thought... I'm probably wrong...

3) ThemePark (remember that?).  Its a little annoying.  I can get full SB
sound (SFX and mUSiC) in the Intro, but when the game itself starts, I
loose the sfx, an error momentarily flashes "Cannot load SFX...".  But If
I view the intro again, its fine.  Normal, or Unique.  either way, can u help?

Well here's what I got.

yesterday I finally broke down and called Gravis.  They told me, much as
the rest of you did, that it was in the "bonus" pack.  My Gus Max didn't 
come with the bonus pack. (yes I bought it new).  It came with the 3.59a
disks and the CD.  However gravis has told me that they will mail me a
bonus pack, so I should be receiving that shortly.  The man on the phone
speculated that perhaps the Bonus pack is no longer included with the MAX.

Personally I think someone made a packaging mistaken and just didn't put
the bonus pack in my box.

Subject: Re: Windows s3m player

There is an s3m player for windows which installs itself as an MCI extension.
This means that you use Media Player to play yer s3ms.  It supports the GUS
as well, in native mode rather than using the Windows WAV driver like most
others currently available (WinModPro, UltiMod, etc.) do.

The important stuff:

	Called:   WMIDAS.ZIP  or WMIDAS13.ZIP
	available at ultrasound archives in the util/windows directory.

I have a question as well.  I have just installed the 'Final Beta' of Win95.
Brilliant.  But I'm not here to sing the praise of Microsoft, although I
could do so for quite a while.  Since Win95 took over, WinMidas no longer
recognises the GUS, and always uses the WAV device.  Has anyone else got
WinMidas to recognise their GUS and use it natively under Win95?  I have a 
regular GUS, revision 3.4 or something. 

Thanks,

Darren.

Subject: XCom 2 Hangs...

     I have the same problem with a GUS MAX!  I'm using QEMM 7.5 and NDOS
8.0.  However, if I don't load NDOS, the game exits flawlessly without any
problems.  With NDOS loaded, QEMM gives me the (T)erminate, (R)eboot? screen
when I quit.  Hope this helps.  If you're running a command line shell, turn
it off!  The GUS likes MS-DOS and not much else!
