	OK, I understand this.  Now, who's-to-say that people actually
	WILL start supporting the Gravis?  I mean, OK, it's gotten a lot
	of net-hype, but as far as real-world advertising, NO ONE has
	ever heard of the damned thing.  

	I understand that eventually, a new sound card standard will evolve,
	it HAS to.  But, I'm not too convinced that Gravis' marketing campaign
	is going to be able to pull it off.

	Watch out for SB16, Gravis.

	As far as SB compat with GUS... how good/bad is it?
	It uses samples instead of FM crap, right?  So, it
	will obviously sound much MUCH better, right?
	Any problems?

	What's up with these .mid files?  Is the GUS a midi device as well?

  About Unreal,  Has anybody heard music after the second sequence??  The one
with the ships flying around. After that sequence I dont get any other music.
The demo plays through ok. The reason I ask is that my roomates computer at
home plays music all the way through. It is a 386sx/16 with a SB. His
computer here at school is also a 386sx/16 doesnt play the music also with
a SB. I have the same problem with a PAS+ on a 386/40. Does anyone know
whay the music might stop playing. We are running at about 610k conventional

The mixing and resampling is done in hardware, though the modulation of
frequency and amplitude will probably have to be done in software.  The
selection of notes and timbre will have to be done by software.  That is,
you can't just load a MIDI file into the GUS and have it interpret and play
the thing.  I didn't mean to imply this degree of intelligence in the card.

As to my owning a GUS, no, I do not have one yet.

I have a SB-Pro and the only peep that I've heard from it while running
OS/2 (though I haven't been running OS/2 for more that a week.. keep
that in mind) was during a windows session (installing Jukebox and
pro-mixer)
Under a Dos windows or a full Screen Dos session the plyaback quality
of .mods dropped to below my threshhold for listening.  (I dual boot
back to true-dos for .mod playing with promod)
So far, I don't think (I'm no authority by any means.. not much OS/2

Subject: DAMARK GUS/LMSI CD-rom bundle
Organization: International Computer Science Institute, Berkeley, CA, U.S.A.
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 1992 00:00:38 GMT

I don't remember anyone mentioning the recent soundcard/CD-rom bundle in
a DAMARK catalog (DAMARK is a gadget/liquidator); I'm posting both to
point out the deal and solicit any opinions of its value.

For $399+ $14.50 shipping, they are selling an "internal CD-rom drive,
[an] Advanced Gravis UltraSound card, [an] LMSI daughter board
interface, and Chuck Yeager's Air Combat software [on CD]."  The sound
card appears to be the same one that's been all over comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard,
and the CD-rom drive is a caddyless LMSI drive with a "32K buffer and
375ms access time [mean, I hope]."

Based on the text and knowledge of the GUS, you'd think the drive would
connect to a SCSI daughter board on the GUS.  But the picture clearly shows
two "adult" boards, and DAMARK tech support seemed to confirm this.  Is
this because the LMSI drive uses a proprietary interface?  Does anyone
know anything good or bad about that drive? (I don't suppose it can read
single-session PhotoCDs.)

Since I heard that the GUS board has been back-ordered all over North
America, I asked about availability -- and DAMARK said it is on backorder
"until next week".  From my experience, that can mean anything.

Can't answer your questions re: .MOD editor or converting .SND to sheet
music, but it seems SB .MOD editors are discussed here, thay would probably
work (but perhaps not take advantage of the PAS16's stereo capabilities).
The only sequencer (PC) that I know of which takes advantage of the Win 3.1
sound capabilities is Twelve Tone's Cakewalk, which allows you to 'embed'
44.1khz 16 bit (or lower) digitized sound in your midi sequences.  It is just
a simple 'trigger' mechanism at this point though.

Even better, the guy I talked to said that since it wasn't in stock,

    I haven't had these problems with my PAS+. Im thinking that maybe you
have to save your windows settings on exit. I think this save the info in
your win.ini or system.ini file. If you dont save your settings on exiting,
When you start windows it reads the info out of the files and goes to
whatever the original settings are. Dont hold me to this, but I could
be the prob.  Hope this helps.

If all you are interested in is SB emulation, then go for the PAS 16. 
Just keep in mind that when developers start releasing stuff for the
Gravis, you will still be stuck with SB emulation.  A lot of people keep
focusing on the SB emulation.  That's NOT what the Ultrasound is all
about.  It is not supposed to be just another SB clone, but the next
generation in soundcards (in that price range.)  I'm sure the SB will be
around for a long time, but will you be satisifyed with that, or will you
want more?

As for the extra daughterboards and raising the price, all I have to say
is "so".  I currently don't need SCSI support.  I will eventually get a
CD-ROM drive, but until then, I don't need SCSI support on my soundcard. 
And when I do, I've heard that you can use other interfaces beside the one
from Gravis.  Same with 16 bit recording.  I would like it, but I don't
need it.  And in the long run, I would rather pay more if it comes to
that, than be stuck with yesterdays technology.

My GUS came with a special free bonus offer that they will send me a
complete set of general MIDI instrument patches ( 192 instrument and
percussion patches ) if I send back the registration card. This will
make GUS a general MIDI compatible sound module. Not bad for CDN$169 (
What do you think ? )
 GUS MIDIPLYER comes with around 100 instrument patches but they were
not enough to support all the instruments defined in general MIDI spec.

Another Happy GUS Owner.
