- Subject: _No_ chorus and reverb on GUS.
-
- The GUS cannot produce chorus and/or reverb, no matter what Midisoft
- product one uses. The Roland SCC-1, RAP-10, etc. have an onboard effects
- processor that is responsible for the chorus and reverb. The GUS has no
- such effects processor. You'll need an external unit.

-
- I don't know which is right, but I can tell you that you would waste your
- money buying MidiSoft Recording _Session_. The version from Gravis is it,
- nothing missing or disabled. I think the software you might want is
- MidiSoft Recording _Studio_ (or something like that).

- Subject: GUS, MIDI mapper & my synth?
-
- O.K. If I remember correctly (and I do) when I had my SB compat. FORTE16 card
- I was able to use sound from my synth (Korg Poly-800II but that really doesn't
- matter). Now with the GUS I can't seem to send sounds via MIDI. Anyone figure
- this one out. I've tried using the MIDI mapper but it didn't help. (I have a
- 486sx25 8M cd-rom GUSMAX etc. etc. if that helps at all.
- P.S. Craige, I haven't cheched out UPL?.zip yet but thanks for the tip.

- I got it to work...
-
- I simply ran the .sco and .orc files through the processor and played
- the results using playfile. I can't remember the exact option off the
- top of my head, but you need to tell csound to generate a .wav file...

- Subject: HELP FINDING A LOOP
-
- Hello,
-
- This question is not strictly GUS-related but is more general.
-
- I used an excellent sampling CD and directly read 3 seconds of viola C4
- into a WAV file.
- The sound is excellent when I play the WAV.
- To set the loop points I use WAVE SE and that's where my problems start.
- Although I pay attention to the valleys and peaks of the wave, and use
- WAVE SE's good find functions to search for amplitude matches or zero
- amplitudes I am up to now not able to avoid clicking.
- I noticed that the sample has actually many waves due to the nature of the
- recorded instrument and the sound of the click suggests that there must
- still be a sudden change in the amplitude of one of low frequency waves.
- Do you have any idea how to set loop points if the sample has many waves
- of different frequencies ? I could imagine there must be a program out there
- that analyzes a WAV and makes proper suggestions.
-
- Kind regards,
- Volker

- Subject: Re: MIDI cable magic
-
- I am using my Kawai keyboard now with the MIDI cable from the SBPro MIDI
- Kit. Your SB cable will probably work fine. I sequence under Windows
- using Recording Session and it works quite well (for an amateur like me
- anyways; if you're a pro then you may want a more powerful piece of
- software).

- From: apervazo@sas.upenn.edu (Andrian Pervazov)
- Subject: Re: Reverb and Chorus with the GUS
-
- The GUS doesn't have built in digital effects - that means that even if
- you have a sequencer that supports these features (Powertracks comess to
- mind) you won't be able to use them.
-
- The Chorus and Reverb are part of Roland's GS standart. But it's not true
- that these controllers work only with Roland devices - I have a Korg
- 05r/w module that has multiple digital effects and I'm able to control
- chorus and reverb via MIDI from the mixer of Powertracks.
