Subject: Windows MOD player

es anybody use a Windows mod player that works well with the GUS?  I am

using WinMOD right now, but it doesn't sound very good.  It's very noisy

compared to GUSMOD from DOS.



If there isn't a Windows mod player for the GUS then somebody needs to

write one.  It should also play ULT and 669 and FAR files, and include

such features as a play list, VU meters for each channel like GUSMOD has.

Even the minimized icon should have VU meters on it - maybe just left and

right.  I'm thinking of writing one myself; but of anyone here plans to

write one, can you let me know so we don't duplicate efforts?  As this

would be my first Windows programming project, it'd probably take me a

long time.



Can somebody give me an overview of what Windows calls to use to work

with the GUS on the lowest level that's "proper"?  I mean, it's not

politically correct to send stuff directly to the GUS's port address, the

way GUSMOD probably does, right? or is it?  Generally Windows has a high-

level way of doing things, like the digital audio driver for instance.

But if Winmod is any indication, that digital audio driver doesn't sound

the best.
