Note from the Editor
--------------------

   Summer is coming to a close but the Sound/Multimedia scene continues
to advance.  The Assembly 93 competition heated up Finland putting on
a show of demos for many computer platforms.  The results of the
competition are found in this issue.  I also have taken the time to
go through the FTP/BBS list so there are some changes.  The authors
list continues to be improved and I would appreciate any help in
filling the blanks that exist.

   For all you audio buffs Island CD Creations has pressed the Sound-Site
CD-ROM containing near 1400 MOD files and 500 MIDI files as well as
numerous sound files players on multi-platforms.  It's great for
collectors and those who find downloading the files too time consuming.
Read the CD-ROM.INF file if you are interested.  If you are interested in
publishing the Sound Newsletter on a CD-ROM please contact me for more
information.

Would you like to see a new column, write a column, answer questions...
The Sound Newsletter is always looking for additional help.  We are
also looking for ASCII artists.

** The Sound-Site Update  **
****************************

     Everything seems to be running pretty smoothly on the sound.usach.cl
site.  We are happy to say that all programs reviewed in the Sound
Newsletter can be found on this site and the site is growing everyday.
I am looking for a few people to help with the backlog of new programs.
What this would require is checking the incoming directory and downloading
new programs and verifying that they work (and of course possibly writing
a review of it for the Sound Newsletter if you have time).  I can't
promise much but you will be able to see a lot of new programs before
most people and of course get your name in "lights" on the Sound Newsletter.
If you are interested let me know.
     Our second site is going through final stages of preparation and we
should be able to announce it in the next issue.  This site will be
different from our sound.usach.cl site and we hope you will find it
equally valuable.

     Sound.usach.cl users please use the 'ls' command to view the files
on the system.  The 'dir' command is still being perfected and sometimes
may not list all the files present.  I have updated the MOD directory
to reflect many of the recent MOD files and have provided a listing
below of the new MOD files on the ftp site.  Be looking for a list of
Sound file players in the next newsletter.  In the meanwhile check out
the players directory as we have one of the most extensive collections
of sound players available.

*********************   Copyright (C) 1993
** The GUS Gallery **   by Michael Sutter
*********************   freejack@shell.portal.com

Wow, August was a busy month for the GUS! Gravis made a strong showing at
Assemble '93, some great new GUS software was released, and I've finally
found a windows midi player that I can live with. All in all I think
August was a great month. Well, without wasting anymore time lets get to
the good stuff.

Title     : Gustrack
Version   : 1.03
File Name : gustr103.zip
Type      : Tracker
Author    : EJ Botterman jr.
E-mail    : n/a
Price     : Shareware $20 registration

It amazes me to see the number of new trackers showing up for the GUS.
Just as the August issue went to press, I received a copy of Gustrack.
Gustrack is a new 4 channel ProTracker style composer. Gustrack is written
by  EJ Botterman jr.  Gustrack supports loading of 4,6 and 8 channel mod
files. It supports almost the whole ProTracker command set. The only problems
I've heard of with Gustrack is that some people have had problems playing
mods that they have created with Gustrack on a Amiga.
I've not had much time to work with Gustrack, so look for a full length
review in a future issue.


Title     : Farandole Composer
Version   : 0.8b
File Name : far08b.zip
Type      : Tracker
Author    : Daniel Potter/Digital Infinity.
E-mail    : dpotter@uss.lonestar.org
Price     : Shareware $15 registration

Another tracker worth mentioning is Farandole (FAR) composer from Daniel
Potter/Digital Infinity. FAR is a 16 channel composer based heavily on
the original 669 composer from Renaissance. If you have used the 669
composer in the past, you should feel right at home with FAR. Where FAR
distinguishes itself from the 669 composer is in its ability to use up to 16
channel as opposed to 8 channels with the 669 composer, the ability to
use 8 or 16 bit samples, and use of 16 independent pan positions.
FAR allows the loading of MOD,669, and FAR files, but only saves in FAR
format at this time. One feature of FAR that you will either love or hate
is it's 'Huge' pattern edit screen. FAR uses the 132x43 mode for displaying
all 16 channels on the screen at one time. I personally like being able to
see everything at one shot, but have heard from others that think it
makes the screen too crowded and hard to read.

The second public release version (08b) of FAR was just recently released.
Version 08b fixed many problem of the original release. Among the fixes
are : - Problem with TSENG and S3 based video cards.
      - Bug when loading MOD and 669 files.
      - Added STM loading support.
      - Host of other bug fixes and enhancements.
If you have liked the original 669 composer or are still looking for a
tracker, give Farandole composer a try.


Title     : ZZPlay
Version   : 1.00
File Name : zzp10pen.zip
Type      : Mod Player
Author    : Zwerg Zwack of Pentagon (a.k.a Christian Kuendig)
E-mail    : chicken@ezinfo.vmsmail.ethz.ch (attn: Zwerg Zwack)
Price     : Non-Commercial Freeware.
	    See zzplay.doc for info on ordering the ZZPlay.obj file
	    to add MOD playback to your own program.

Up until recently, Gusmod and Gusplay have been the two most popular MOD
players for the GUS. Now you can add a new MOD player to the list.
ZZPlay from Zwerg Zwack of Pentagon. ZZPlay like Gusplay supports 4,6, and 8
channel mod files. I was impressed with the clean output of ZZPlay.
There was not a hint of the dreaded 'ultra-click'. One thing I like
about ZZplay is that you can see the instrument names. This allows you
to read any messages the composer included in the MOD file. The only problem
I've found with ZZPlay is when playing back the MOD Klisje Paa Klisje
ZZPlay has problems handling the some of the speed commands in the middle
of the song. I don't consider this a major problem, as many MOD players have
problems with this song. Only time will tell, but it looks like ZZPlay will
be my MOD player of choice.


Title     : Spect
Version   : 1.00
File Name : spect.zip
Type      : spectral analysis
Author    : Kevin C. Fandre
E-mail    : kfandre@uafhp.uark.edu (Until May 94)
Price     : Public Domain

A really cool program I ran across awhile back is Spect by Kevin C. Fandre.
Spect is a 'Almost Real-Time' spectral analysis program for the GUS.
Spect monitors input from either the line-in or mic-in ports and
displays a full screen, 128 level spectral display. Even if your not
interested in the practical use of Spect, its worth checking out as 'Eye
Candy' :)


Title     : Mycroft's MIDI Surfer
Version   : 1.01

If your tired of using the Windows media player to play Mid file,
Mycroft's MIDI Surfer may be the program you've been looking for.
MIDI Surfer is a recently released Mid file player by Alan S. Estenson.
MIDI Surfer supports any sound device capable of playing Mid files. The one
feature that makes MIDI Surfer so great is its use of a queue list for
song selection. Using MIDI Surfer, I can queue up an hours worth of mid
files, minimize MIDI Surfer, and go about my work with great sound
playing in the background. The only things I wish MIDI Surfer would do
is allow saving of queue lists to disk, and add drag and drop support.
Alan plans on adding the saving of 'Albums' or queues in a future
version. I think I've finally found a windows midi player I'm happy
with.


Title     : The Gus Gallery Midi Sampler Volume I
Version   : 1.00
File Name : ggvol01.zip
Type      : Collection of midi files.
Author    : various.
E-mail    : freejack@shell.portal.com
Price     : Right!!! :) Our gift to you.

It seems I'm always seeing requests on the net from GUS owners for MID
files. I've dug through my MID file collection and put together a sampler
collection of MID files. All the files are arranged for playback on any
sound device capable of playing back GM mid files. All the songs have
volume settings for playback on the GUS, so if your planning on listening
to these files on a Roland or a MultiSound, you will need to adjust the
volume using Phat Tran's Vmap program. This collection contains a variety
of styles ranging from easy listening to rock, from classical to techno.
Let me know what you think.

Well, once again its closing time at the GUS Gallery. I hope you have
enjoyed your stay. Next month I plan on spend some time talking about
3rd party patch sets that are available for the GUS, Shareware and freeware
Sequencing software, and whatever happens during the month of September.
Feel free to contact me on either of the bbs's listed below. On Internet
my e-mail address is freejack@shell.portal.com.
Until next month, happy Gusing.

 Release 1.50a

MULTIPLAYER is a multi-format module player. Unlike actual module players
for PCs, a lot of MOD formats and Output Sound Devices are supported. A
nice text screen will be shown during playing, allowing you to give your
own effects to the song.

Derived directly from VangelisTracker source code, it can play MOD, NST,
669, STM, S3M, S2M, OKT, WOW, 6CM and 8CM (new extensions for Fast-
Tracker mods): that is, modules having up to 16 channels and more than
50 samples.

MultiPlayer can work with PC-Speaker, Covox or compatible, SoundBlaster
and SoundBlaster PRO, allowing stereo in some particular condition
(like the Covox-SoundBlaster coupling).

It's not a command-line program, like many other modplayers, but it
uses a file requester allowing you to tag files, extract mods from
LZH and ZIP files (removing them after playing it), change directory
or drive  rapidly and so on.  A Setup Menu is available by pressing
Alt-S. You can select devices and enable (or disable) some extended
feature to be applied during mod's playback.

One of the problems of module players is the 'pseudo-stereo' sound
due to module voice separation on output channels. DMP by Otto Chrons
resolved this problem by using Panning, VangelisTracker used the Mix
Method (imported on MultiPlayer too). MultiPlayer uses another original
method, applied only to 4-Channel Mods (MOD, NST, STM) and 669 Mods.
This method, called Spatial Sound System, plays mods by replying some
voice to both output channels. So, a standard MOD file has voice 1 and
2 played on both channels, voice 3 and 4 played on one channel. This
method gives a good stereo effect, but a little loss of sound quality.
Also, you can apply 'Mono mode' method, in that case all module voices
will be played on both output channels.

A lot of original features are available during module playback.
You can turn off a channel (keys L or R), change a single voice
volume (so some voice can pointed out), and change display mode
(bars, patterns, samples) by using the function keys.

Classical Dos-Shell is not allowed, but a new shell system is included
into MultiPlayer, called VDS (Virtual Dos Shell). It implements all
basic MS-DOS commands (COPY, REN, DIR, CD) and something more (MOVE),
into the main screen window. Anyway, no external program can be executed
into VDS.

MultiPlayer is written in TurboPascal 7.0, and requires a 80286, but
I think it works good with a 80386-20mhz. A VGA card is recommended
for the 28-line display mode. It was tested on a 80386-25Mhz compatible,
with a SoundBlaster 1.5 and a Covox installed, on a 80386-33Mhz with
a SoundBlaster PRO, and a IBM Model 70 (old 80386-20Mhz) with no sound
card.

MultiPlayer is available on cs.uwp.edu (/pub/msdos/modplayers) and
on official Sound Site, sound.usach.cl (pub/Sound/Players). Other FTP 
sites can have old releases.

** The Wave Utilities 2.2  **  ** Update **
*****************************
Copyright (c) 1993 by TASsoft

Written by Tim Tschirner and Christoph Sundergeld


The Wave Utilities 2.2 consist of Looper and Player, two Windows sound
applications.

Looper is a Windows application that plays digitized audio files in
wave format (files with the .wav extension) continuously in the
background. It can handle all the types and formats of Wave files that
your sound card is capable playing of. With Looper, you can have a lot
of fun. It can almost turn your computer into a Sampler, a Beat Box or
a drum machine.

Player is a sound player for Microsoft Windows 3.1 or higher, which can
handle all the types and formats of Wave files that your sound card is
capable playing of. There are no limitations to the length of the Wave
file to be played. You are now able to play Wave files by simply
doubleclicking them in the File Manager. Normally, this isn't the case
- launching a Wave file calls up the Sound Recorder with the Wave file
loaded in memory. If you have a Pro AudioSpectrum 16 sound card, you
can use it's feature to play back two Wave files simultaneously together
with Looper and Player. Player can also play Wave files while you're
playing .mod files and much more. Once you installed Player, launching
a .WAV document from the File Manager will play the sound. This allows
greater flexibility for organizing and playing sounds. For example, you
can now install all of your sounds in a Program Manager group.
Doubleclicking their icons will then play them. By installing a Wave file
in your Autostart Group you are now able to play a sound of unlimited
length when Windows starts up.
When you use Norton Desktop For Windows 2.0 or later as your Windows
Shell, you can make easy use of Player's feature to play back several
Wave files after another.

To let the Wave Utilities run on your system, you must have either
Windows with Multimedia Extensions or Windows 3.1 or above installed on
your system. You will also need at least 1 Megabyte of RAM and a sound
card that is capable of playing back digitized sounds (such as a Sound
Blaster card).

If you find some bugs or have any comments, questions or problems,
you can contact us at the following Internet E-Mail addresses:

A special note for owners of a Pro AudioSpectrum 16 or compatible:
------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have a Pro AudioSpectrum 16 or compatible sound card installed
in your system, you can use it's special feature of playing back two
Wave files at the same time together with the Wave Utilities.

** MIDIMOD makes MIDI files from MODs (almost all effects) **
*************************************************************
Author: Andrew Scott (INTERNET:ascott@tartarus.uwa.edu.au)

MIDIMOD converts any Amiga Soundtracker/Noisetracker/Protracker Module
to a general MIDI format 1 file. It automatically identifies previously
used samples, and automatically allocates channels to both instrument
and percussion patches. MIDIMOD also allows samples to be mapped to any
chord sequence and converts volumes of samples automatically. Just about
every MOD effect is converted, and MOD sample names are included in the
output MIDI file.
This is an update to version 0.1 and has quite a few bugfixes and some
new features.
Also included is the complete Amiga Module specification.

Even though MOD files contain some music-instructions that cannot be
represented in MID format, there are many reasons why it is desirable to
have music in MIDI form rather than MOD form:
    * Some sound cards cannot play MOD files, only MIDI files
      (eg. AdLib)
    * Top-of-the-range music editing programs do not handle MOD files,
      but almost always handle MIDI files, or at least allow you to
      convert from MIDI files.
    * There exist programs to print out MIDI files as musical score. I
      don't know of any which do the same for MOD files
    * MIDI files tend to be much smaller than MOD files
    * On some sound cards, MIDI files sound better than MOD files
      (although on many others the converse is true)
    * MIDI files are more portable, having a well-known format, and
      have utilities on many different computers. MID files _ARE_
      the industry standard.
    * MIDI files can be played on professional keyboards, allowing expert
      recording/presentation of music
    * Umm.. Microsoft Windows comes with a MIDI player but not a MOD
      player, so you can play MIDI files as a background task (and insert
      MIDI files into documents etc. etc.)

Changes since version 0.1:
  Bugfixes (yeah..) including proper management of null sample/null
  period divisions, correct Pattern-Break effect, correct volume-slides,
  slightly more correct tempo management.
  Inclusion of volume scaling, and automatic allocation of them.
  Now you can set the drum channel to whatever you want (don't get
  too wild)
  Compiles under just about every environment (if you've got Curses).
