- Well I hope someone downloads a better one. A .WAV file of
- striving.mid doesn't exactly showcase how different it sounds from a
- GUS or any other soundcard. Why? Let's see, the midi file uses some
- drums, a bass, and a bright piano... that's it! How about some
- orchestral instruments? The GUS IMHO has some really bad orchestral
- instruments and I want to see how the new InterWave-based card is gonna
- sound like.
-
-
- BTW, does anyone know if the ROM samples are stereo patches? The AMD
- literature said the chip can support 32 16-bit stereo samples... hmm..
- Also, will it have different samples, depeding upon velocity?
-
- Thanks,

- Subject: "J-bXond" NMI disabled
-
-
- I am a GUS users and I have a J-bXnd "PCI400C-B" motherboard.
-
- I found that the board was NMI disabled, that means SBOS cannot be run and
- also MIDI input does not work when GUS is used with this board. Therefore,my
- system cannot be sound blaster compatible and cannot be connected a MIDI
- keyboard.
-
- I tried to contact the sole agent in Hong Kong, but always there is no one
- answer the phone. There is no information about the company which
- manufactures "J-bXnd motherboard" in the manual. i.e. no address, no web
- site address, no E-mail address. Therefore, I could not get any technical
- support.
-
- I am totally disappointed by "J-bXnd", and I remind every GUS users, make
- sure that the motherboard is NMI enabled before buying it.

- MAK SHUN LEUNG from Hong Kong

- Subject: NMI's and gus/is gus-general up?
-
- Hey all, sorry if this topic may be inappropriate, but I wasn't sure if
- gus-general is up yet. I was wondering if the NMI (Non-maskable interrupts)
- are necessary for Native gus operability or just for SBOS? I'm thinking of
- upgrading to a pentium (of course) and it seems basically no-one has NMI's
- on their motherboards anymore. Also I really hope that the new (rumored)
- gravis
- sound card makes _no_ use of NMI's since it will surely make it a
- compatibility pain!
-
- Another music question is I'm looking for a good string patch (kinda like
- Tremelo on the general patch set but larger (maybe 512kb-700kb or so) and
- with not such a wide and fast tremelo.
-
- Thanks for any help!
