Basically, the question is, how do i mix drums with regular patches in a piece - I am using cake walk for windows. duncan sutherland dasu@sfsuvax1.sfsu.edu ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Nov 1993 15:19 -0500 From: WADLEIGH@PROCESS.COM Subject: Re: GUS Musician's Digest V2 #6 I have uploaded some Christmas music for GUS in a variety of styles. Yes, Eric, they were done with the "baby" version of Power Chords that comes in the GUS software. Enjoy, Hal ------------------------------ Date: 5 Nov 1993 15:11:57 PST From: chrisw@leland.Stanford.EDU Subject: Re: Patch banks ------------ >>One concern I have about multiple banks: >>Windows is already mightily slowed down in startup by the GUS driver, apparently >>reading through the config file to set up its patch/file correspondences. If we >>have 1024 banks, I don't think I can wait long enough! One of the changes in the new drivers is the ability to disable the patch checking that goes on when windows is started up.

I've had some problems with the patch caching in conjunction with non-patch-caching sequencing software (namely it dumps all the patches in memory every time you want to load one new patch) but I finally figured out that if I load them in the right order I can get PatchMan, Cakewalk and Piano all to co-exist happily, so long as local echo is turned off in Piano, as it causes PatchMan to throw up a silly little dialog box and minimize itself. --Michael-- << dmcintyr@muselab.ac.runet.edu >> ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 6 Nov 93 12:11:43 EST From: dmcintyr@muselab.ac.runet.edu Subject: that's odd... That's odd... I got TWO digests today... One was one line longer than the other.
