If anyone has any GUS> recommendations for other piano instruction software, please post GUS> those too or send me some mail. MusicWare Piano cost me $99 at a computer chain-store in town. It works pretty well with the GUS, and sounds fine. However, I'm not impressed with it as a program for learning piano. The problem is that it's really boring! I envision piano software that would make the piano a sort of joystick interface to an interesting game, with the learning happening by accident. MusicWare Piano, by contrast, is just a series of normal lessons, run by the computer. Might as well do it the old-fashioned way. Caveat: So far my kids and I have only worked through the first couple of hours of lessons; perhaps it gets better eventually. I also found a nit: my setup appears to miss short notes sometimes.

I got an offer for the MW Piano with my GUS MAX for $99. - Don't pay more than that. MW's # is 1-800-997-4266 I got a MW Piano demo at wuarchive.wustl.edu in /pub/msdos_uploads/win3 filename: mwpiano.zip It is probably still there. I would recommend doing what I did. I bought the Miracle Piano Teaching System from The Software Toolworks from Computability ( 1-800-554-9903 ) for $80. I you want to know more about Miracle, call The Software Toolworks at 1-800-234-3088 for a brochure. -Dean ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Oct 1994 19:57:38 +0800 (WST) From: Software Hallucinations <hallucin@iinet.com.au> Subject: PatchEZE 1.01 released! Hello fellow GUS-lovers. Just an announcement that PatchEZE 1.01 has been released!! PatchEZE 1.01 is a bug fix version for those GUSers having problems installing the software (there was a problem with some versions of the UltraSound installation), or with the MIDI in/output (problem with other MIDI drivers being used). If you haven't had any problems in these two areas, then don't bother getting the new version. If you DO get the new version and you have already installed PatchEZE, be sure to read the upgrade section in INSTALL.TXT before reinstalling. If you don't even know what PatchEZE IS... then read the announcement in the soundcard newsgroups, or get the readme file via ftp. PatchEZE has been uploaded to the following FTP sites: archive.epas.utoronto.ca /pub/pc/ultrasound/submit ftp.cica.indiana.edu /pub/pc/win3/uploads (or check /pub/pc/win3/sounds) wuarchive.wustl.edu /pub/msdos_uploads/sound File: P-EZE101.ZIP Readme: P-EZE101.TXT PatchEZE has also been posted, uuencoded and split into three files of less than 64k each, to the comp.binaries.ms-windows newsgroup. Hope you enjoy it! +----------------------------------+---------------------------------------+ | Stuart Swain | | | Internet Support Officer | "What is the use of a vision | | Software Hallucinations. | if you never make it become reality?" | | email: hallucin@iinet.com.au | | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------------+ ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 9 Oct 1994 22:03:27 -0700 (PDT) From: Emory Menefee <em@crl.com> Subject: RAM limitations; music scanning software 1. Why does anybody other than Gravis think that the MAX is worth the money, since it still has only 1 Mb RAM? (A 16 bit card by Logitech has 2 Mb). 2. What would happen if one were to extend the DRAM capacity of the existing GUS by either physical expansion of slots, or putting in DRAMs larger than those specified? 3. Would anyone venture an opinion about the Midiscan software sold by Tiger Software for $200? It is claimed to produce MIDI files from scanned sheet music. Thanks.
