Subject: SB16 + GUS + MIDI keyboard in Windows = Lock-Up!!!

I had recently been trying to get the GUS and the SB16 to live together in
the same machine.  I succeeded with much help from other Netters.  I can use
the GUS for MIDI music and the SB16 for sound effect and speech for most of
my games.  I can even use the two together in Windows.  I can record my
GUS's MIDI music to an SB16 WAV file.  No probs there anymore.

Now, I tried to hook up my Roland PC-200mkII MIDI controller keyboard after
having put it away for a while to get other things set up right.  I thought
for sure that it wouldn't give me any problems.  BUT...when in Windows,
simply touching a key while the keyboard is on and plugged in the GUS locks
up Windows but good!  I can't reboot.  I have to turn the whole thing right
off.  I can use the keyboard in DOS though.  It's just Windows that gives me
the problems.

Maybe I did something in one of my .INI files?  I dunno.  I have the cards
set as:
SB16 220(address)5(IRQ) 1(lowDMA) 5(highDMA) 300(MIDIport) t6
GUS  210(address) 7(playDMA) 7(recordDMA) 11(GF1IRQ) 7(MIDI/SB IRQ)

What could the problem be?
        INIs?
        Hardware setups?  Conflicts?
        Software setups?  Conflicts?
        Moon misaligned with Jupiter?

Any help would be absolutely, gratefully, positively, enormously, spam,
truly, most extraordinarily appreciated.

I don't know of much Kenny-G style stuff but I have a good set of older
style jazz that makes good dinner music.  It came with some brush drum
patches that accent the jazz nicely.  I can't seem to find it on any of
the ftp sites.  If anyone knows where it is (called gmbrush.zip or
brushd.zip maybe?) then let me know.  Otherwise, I'll put the patches and
MIDI files into an archive and upload it.  It has brush hi-hat and snare
patches and 10 jazz songs (Moanin', A Night in Tunisia, All Blues, My One
and Only Love, Donna Lee, Israel, It Don't Mean a Thing, Prelude to a
Kiss, On Green Dolphin Street, and Cherokee). 

Unfortunately, I no longer have the docs that came with it so I can't give
credit to the original uploader (he made the brush patches but not the
MIDI files).

For some better (still not great but...) reed patches, try the
e_reeda1.zip file.  Not all of the patches are better than the Crystal
ones but some of them are.  You may also want a better acoustic bass
patch, and a better piano patch for the jazz.  Don't worry, using a 500K
piano and special bass an reed patches it still fits nicely into 1MB.

Now if only I had a nice muted trumpet.  I've got good pianos, basses,
guitars, drums and not a terrible reed set but that muted trumpet has to go!
