-
- Anouncing 2PAT v1.4; the premier windows based instrument converter!
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- You can find it on:
- archive.epas.utoronto.ca/pub/pc/ultrasound/submit/2pat14.zip
- and it will probably trickle out to the other Ultrsound sites as well.
-
- If you haven't installed the Win32s extensions yet, you may as well get
- ftp.microsoft.com/developr/DEVTOOLS/WIN32SDK/win32s115a.zip
- and install it as well, since it is required to run 2PAT nowadays.
-
-
- News since version 1.1 (v1.2 and v1.3 never was released) is:
-
-
- version 1.4, <94-10-14>
- Improved support for Turtle Beach WaveFront based cards! (Maui/Rio/Monterey);
- Reads .WavePatchs.WFB, WFP and WFP files (v1.2 or later only).
- Exports .WFP files.
- Supports downloading instruments to the Maui card,
- using the WF GateKeeper (WFGATE.DLL).
-
- Reads ScreamTracker 3 instruments (S3I).
-
-
- version 1.3, <94-08-02>
- Now a Win32s (v1.1 or later) program.
- CTL3D32.DLL replaces CTL3DV2.DLL.
- FMJMTHRU.DLL no longer needed.
- Saves config in the Win32 registry instead of in an .INI file.
-
- Now reads the GKH disk image files in addition to INS/EFE for Ensoniq EPS.
-
- Barebone .SBK import support (EMU SoundFonts Banks / SB AWE32); at wavesample
- level.
-
-
- version 1.2, <94-07-28>
- Licensing policy has changed to Shareware, so now you MUST pay a small fee
- to get the legal right to use it. See REGISTER.TXT.
-
- Restructured for multiple export formats, currently:
- Ultrasound patches (.PAT)
- Turtle Beach Maui (.WAV+.WFS+.DES)
- Ms Windows wave files (.WAV+-DES)
- Midi Sample Dump Standard files (.SDS+.DES)
-
- Config dialog window where you can choose export type and midi in device.
- Saves config in 2PAT.INI.
-
- You can start 2PAT with a filename on the command line and that file will be
- loaded at once; so now you can associate various file extensions with 2PAT
- in the File Manager and launch 2PAT by double clicking on a file.
-
- Reads and writes .WAV files with the (new Ms standard) smpl (root key,
- finetune, loop points) and ICMT (name) chunks.
-
-
- thats all for now, regards,

- Actually, it is possible to have more than 1 GUS in a machine. However,
- little software is available that will support such a configuration.
- The drivers and utils that the GUS comes with, for example, all assume
- you have only 1 GUS installed.

-
- You can demonstrate simultaneous playback and record simply by creating
- two instances of a WAVE recording/playback util (such as Gold Wave) and
- have one play a WAV while the other records. The requirements are
-
- 1) you have DMA_A and DMA_B set to two different channels, and
- 2) the WAV you're recording must be of the same format (bit resolution,
- mono/stereo, and rate) as the one being played back simultaneously.
-
- > Also if it does work, is it good?
-
- It can be quite system intensive. I don't suggest you do anything else
- while performing simultaneous record and playback.
