  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! :)
