Description : This is the standard set of patch files that were
originally distributed with the Gravis Ultrasound
(GUS) driver. If you want to play a modern source
port and have it sound like a GUS, you'll find
these helpful.
The GUS patches have long been distributed under
this filename. Timidity supports GUS patch (.PAT)
files, so I've generated several Timidity
configuration files that can be used with these
patches. More information is below.

* Configuration files *
The included dmx2timid.py is a Python script that will convert a DMXGUS
lump into a Timidity configuration file.
Several pre-made Timidity configuration files are included:
timidity.cfg
- This is the simplest configuration; it simply maps all the instruments
from Doom's DMXGUSC lump into MIDI instruments. This is probably the
"best sounding" configuration, but is historically inaccurate, because
it uses more instruments than would ever be possible to use with a
real GUS. If you just want to use the GUS patches, use this.
The following configurations are for if you're nostalgic and want
Timidity to sound like a real GUS:
timid_d1.cfg
- This simulates what DOS Doom would sound like if you had a GUS with
the maximum 1024KB of RAM.
timid_d2.cfg
- This simulates what DOS Doom 2 would sound like if you had a GUS with
the maximum 1024KB of RAM.
timid768.cfg
- Simulates what Doom 1/2 would sound like if your GUS had 768KB of RAM.
timid512.cfg
- Simulates what Doom 1/2 would sound like if your GUS had 512KB of RAM.
timid256.cfg
- Simulates what Doom 1/2 would sound like if your GUS had 256KB of RAM.
gus1mIId.cfg
- Sebastien Bacquet's optimized 1024KB configuration for Doom 2's music.
Simulates playing with -file gus1mIId.wad.
jaydmx.cfg
- Jaydee's optimized 1024KB configuration for Doom 2's mustic.
Simulates playing with -file jaydmx.wad.
ht_gus1m.cfg
- Tom Klok's optimized 1024KB configuration for Heretic's music.
Simulates playing with -file ht_gus1m.wad.
