It looks quite >powerful, but w/o decent directions I can't get it to _do_ anything! You mean PATCH.EXE? I played around with it a bit, and found it near incomprehensible, indeed, I never saw a proper explanation of what all the control bits in the header of a patch actually do. Anyway, I remember some basic instructions in patchkit.arj and tutor2.zip, on the usual GUS archives in .../sound/patches/util. Some of the other stuff in there might be useful too. What do other people use to make patches if you want more control than PatchMaker Lite? What did Eero use to make PPLT - perhaps he told us, but I've forgotten? I've sometimes changed attack and decay rates in a hex editor, but find that this drives you mad after a while! - -- Clarke Brunt ------------------------------ From: Mike Godfrey Date: Fri, 22 Dec 1995 10:09:01 -0500 Subject: connecting an IDE CD-ROM Hi, I have a GUS "classic" (i.e. not MAX), 256K, etc etc and I'm looking to buy a new CD-ROM drive. The one I have now is a single-speed Mitsumi with proprietary interface. Having its own card meant that connected the CD-ROM audio out to the GUS line in was a breeze with an external connector. I realize that I need speical connector if I'm going to do serious recording, but really I just want playback for games, etc. So, ... what sort of cable do I need to connect an IDE CD-DROM drive to my GUS? Does the make matter? Will it come with the drive? Do I need to talk to Gravis? (I'm thinking of a quad speed Toshiba, since their specs seems slightly better than the others. Should I be considerng a different make for compatibility's sake?) Thanks for any pointers. Mike. ------------------------------ From: Colin Ritchie Date: Fri, 22 Dec 1995 09:27:53 -0800 Subject: GUS's for sale - ------ =_NextPart_000_01BAD054.076CA1A0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit >BTW, when was the last time you saw a GUS for sale?
