> How to Optimize Channels in Impulse Tracker for the
> Gravis Ultrasound
>
>
> The Ultrasound's most notable limitations have
> always been (excluding the horrible handling of
> 16-bit samples)
> (1) Lack of adequate panning positions
> (only 16)
> (2) Lack of mixing resolution at greater than
> 14 channels
>
> Impulse Tracker goes a long way toward resolving
> the latter limitation. Starting with version 2.x,
> Impulse Tracker features a GUS driver which constantly
> re-initializes the soundcard, continually reassuring
> that the highest possible mixing resolution is being
> used.
>
>
> As a composer, there are a few things you need
> to do to make the most of this feature. First,
> Impulse Tracker can only optimize for the highest
> active channel. This means that if you're using only
> 14 channels, but a sample is being played in the 18th
> channel, then Impulse Tracker will have to initialize
> for 18 channels. Of course, this does not have grave
> implications for songs that skip a couple of channels
> and leave something playing in the 16th channel when
> only 14 channels are being used. However, if you're
> only using 10 channels, and you happen to have a sound
> playing in the 25th channel, the song will sound much
> worse than it needs to.
>
> The second thing you as a composer must do, is to be
> cautious of looping samples. A common tendency is to
> disable looping samples by sliding the volume to zero.
> The sample is still playing; you just can't hear it.
> It's one thing if you intend to turn the sample back
> on at some point. However, if you're done with the
> sound, make sure to use a channel off command so that
> Impulse Tracker can re-initialize for less channels.
>
> Finally, you can, in fact, know how many channels
> are being used at any given time. To do this, press
> Shift-F5. This will bring up the driver options for
> the currently enabled sound device. Next, select and
> enable the option "Show channel reinitialisation"
> (sic). This will allow you to always know how many
> channels are being used. This feature could be more
> useful if the number were always visible at a glance,
> but alas, the number is only visible for a split-
> second during reinitialization.
>
>
> That's all you need to know to successfully optimize
> channel use for the GUS. Soon, we'll all have
> Interwave cards, and all the problems with the regular
> GUS will be solved. Until then, take care in your
> channel use. I believe software GUS routines are on
> the way, but getting the same quality at the same
> mixing speed is impossible, so such a routine will be
> of questionable value. Time will tell.

> Happy Tracking! :)
