Subject: drums and midi in windows

Forgive me, I am new at midi, but every tuime i try to load some drums
into a midi piece i get a not enough memory message - my gus has 1meg, so
it must have something to do with a configuration.  Basically, the
question is, how do i mix drums with regular patches in a piece - I am
using cake walk for windows.

I have uploaded some Christmas music for GUS in a variety of styles.  Yes,
Eric, they were done with the "baby" version of Power Chords that comes in
the GUS software.
Enjoy,
Hal

One of the changes in the new drivers is the ability to disable the 
patch checking that goes on when windows is started up.

Has anyone checked out piano21.zip on epas?  It works just great for me! 
I've had some problems with the patch caching in conjunction with
non-patch-caching sequencing software (namely it dumps all the patches in
memory every time you want to load one new patch) but I finally figured
out that if I load them in the right order I can get PatchMan, Cakewalk
and Piano all to co-exist happily, so long as local echo is turned off in
Piano, as it causes PatchMan to throw up a silly little dialog box and
minimize itself.

That's odd...  I got TWO digests today...  One was one line longer than
the other.  I guess the digest server hicupped?
