Actually I plan to be using the SCSI on the PAS-16. I plan to purchase a CD-ROM
drive fairly soon and I don't want to hassle with an extra card. Fairly simple
actually. Also, the fact you need a daughter card to record in 16-bits is a big
deal. I only make 16 bit samples now after hearing the difference. Oh well,
some companies actually give you what's important, other companies make you pay
extra. Also, the need to sample at 44.1khz is important if you need high
quality sound. If I got rid of a lot of my archived d/ls (like put them on
disks), I'd probably record at that speed more often. The pas-16 isn't an
inferior card. It isn't more expensive if you add in all the perks either.

You still have to resample the data to get the correct pitch and then
mix it using the CPU.  What I don't understand is how those real-time
.MOD players on the PC can do it so damn fast.   Surely they are not
doing FFTs to change the pitch, but on the other hand they must doing
something more complicated than linear interpolation (otherwise it would
sound horrible at the higher frequencies).  How do they do it?

Well..  After the long wait over the last couple of months I now have the
Gravis Ultrasound Card sitting inside my computer. 
The sounds have been great.. when it worked.
 
I'm having some problems with WINDOWS..  Now I bought GUS with a friend and he
has had absolutely no problems.  As for me I've encountered a couple of
things.  Once in a while I get a PARITY error from the computer and it
crashes. And WINDOWS will not detect the card.  I've made sure (4 times) that
its plugged it nicely, and I've even switched the bass port address.  Nothing.
If anyone in the area of Vancouver could give them a shout for me (there 1-800
# is constantly busy) or no if any solutions?
 
And my only other complaint is the software.  The USS8 STUDIO SOFTWARE is
quite bad.  You really can't do much with it.  Very dissapointing.
And so far I've had minor incompatability with non-commercial software.
 
Oh well..  But it still sounds great!

] already when you buy the software, I don't know what the fuss about the
] GUS is, maybe the 32 voices in mono.  but since I do digitize and make
] wav files, I like to get the best quality out of the sound card.

... Ok, to give you an idea of the fuss, have you played the game Out of this
World (or Another World--two releases of the same game)?  The music in that
game was MOD based.  It used 4 channels to do the sound.  It sounded a LOT 
better than any FM synthesis can produce.  You will also remember that the
graphics behind that game were not too cpu intensive.  Now, imagine Wind Commander with music like that (put a MOD file into it instead of the FM Synth)...
there is NO way the Sound Blaster or the PAS/16 could cope.  why?  because the
cpu would have to be doing all the MOD mixing, and cpu intensive graphics and
the game would go at a crawl.  With the GUS, the mixing and resampling is all
taken care of, free of the CPU..which means basically that on the GUS you can
play MOD files w/ as much load on the CPU as you can play FM Synth stuff via
the various other sound cards out there.

if all you want is high quality digital sounds, you shouldn't buy the PAS eitherbut should rather invest about 40 dollars at Radio Shack and build an LPT DAC/ADC... 

basically, the GUS has taken the next logical step in the line of sound cards.
personally, i'm kind of surprised the original sound blaster didn't do the
same.  the technology is old, just hasn't been implemented on the IBM yet.

and just for the record, i currently own the original Sound Blaster (don't have
the cash to buy the Gravis)  anyone want an SB?  Original?

As soon as we get our 3 cards and some programming info, we will make sure 
that Whacker Tracker from CodeBlasters will get GUS support. At first it 
will be only regular 16 bits support, but it will sound _real_ good! We know 
some of the guys in CodeBlasters pretty well, and I think we will have GUS 
support before 24 hours after we get our cards. Should be approx. a week 
after they get to the US.

Thank you for your response.  I figured as much.
While running in MS-Dos 5.0 or DR-Dos 6.0 without memory management
works better than when I use EMM386 or QEMM, and is an option for me
via dual booting back to a clean dos machine.  I was really hoping that
it was a problem that could be fixed within OS/2.  I suppose there is
just too much overhead (memory, GUI.. etc) for the SB to do 'as well'
as it had been doing.
Do you think that its a problem with the DOS based player in a
dos-box/VDM (and extra layer of shuffling for OS/2) that (when/if) a
OS/2 specific player would correct?
The Sound Blaster Pro is the first hardware item that has suffered this
bad from my upgrade to OS/2 2.0

Again, thanks for your response.

You *do* need filtering if you intend to do any kind of synthesis with
it.  If all it does is spit out samples, the best you can do is combine
them and mess around with their amplitude envelopes.  From a sound designer's
point of view, that's pretty boring.  Note that what I'm talking about
here is the ability to synthesize new sounds.  Of course, if you really
want a powerful synth engine, the GUS (or any currently available soundcard)
is pretty rudimentary compared to what available in the synth market.
But for the hobbyist/multi-media/person-on-a-budget, its a godsend...

If anyone just read my previous post, you will notice that I am going to buy
a SB Pro 16 or a PAS16.  I have one major question about the sampling
methods incorporated by these cards, since I intend to use them in my
musical sequences (I cannot afford a real 16 bit sampler).
Does the system RAM affect how much sampling time the cards can do?
Or do the cards have their own built-in sample RAM?
How long can these card sample (respond for the PAS16, since the SB16 isn't
out yet)?  Is there a way to increase sample time (assuming it is separate 
from system RAM) ?
Is the GUS any different in this aspect (better/worse) ?
Like I said, I want a soundcard for the purpose of sampling, and I want the
best one I can get (games are a secondary consideration, but still important).
Thank you,

Think about it though. How many home computer owners actually USE their
PCs as much as those who are reading Usenet? Most of the Home PC owners
buys their PC and only uses it for the occassional word processing,
maybe spreadsheet, and a lot of gaming for the kids. A lot of the
sounblaster buyers just buy them to play games. Think about the average
joe. Most of my home computer owner families don't know too much about
computers. The kids know a bit more and plays around with it a bit more
but don't have the bucks to really get into PLAYING with the thing. And
I think Gravis saw this and figures that most of the buyers will only
use it to play games. So this can keep their prices down and be more
competitive and give more of what a budget conscious family really need.
We are still in somewhat of an economic slump and we are all being more
careful with our money than ever before. 

I think Gravis did things right here. If you need more, then only buy 
the extra that you need. You want scsi only, and you don't need to do 
16 bit sampling cause you are only wanting to add a cd rom? Well, get 
the daughterboard that you need. And not more than you need.

And with daughterboards, it makes upgrading VERY simple. You don't need
to buy a new card. Just swap the daughterboard. And this would be
cheaper as well.

All sorts of reasons I think Gravis's new idea is going in the right
direction and other will soon follow.

I've download many sound files from NCTU. There are about 40 .STM files
included. I have SB-PRO but I don't remember any program can play this kind
of file. So, if you know anything, please give me a suggestion. 
THANKS!
