Does anyone know where to get SDK 2.21 and does it have the 3D sound functions in it? I checked the ftp sites on the digest list and couldn't find it. jbattles@pr.erau.edu ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 02 Mar 1995 13:39:28 -0500 From: iclnl!pvh@relay.NL.net (Pieter van Horssen) Subject: Re: GUS Programmer's Digest V17 #1 > > Date: Tue, 28 Feb 1995 13:14:14 -0800 > From: "Dale Newcomb, Jr." > Subject: Re: 3D Sound Programming > > The 2.21 SDK has the Focal Point 3D software and manual pages, maybe all of > this legal mess with Focal Point (at least some of the recent digests have > suggested legal troubles) has pushed Gravis to pull out the 3D functions and > release 2.22 without them (2.21 wasn't put out all that long ago, I wouldn't be > surprised if this were the case). > On a similar thread however, has anyone actually used the 3D functions > on the GUS?

I used my joystick to move sound around using existing 3D demo files. After that I started looking in using the mouse to have a more refined movement of sound in the stereo spectrum, but the mouse C code played havoc on me so I stopped. For a knowledgeable C programmer (which I am not), however, it should not be to difficult use the 3D routines. The tricky part, and I never came around to do that, is to create a WAV file of an even amount of blocks, which needs to be pre-processed with the Focal Point program fp3d.exe in order to create the channels and the correct header info. I be very interested in your developments in this area. I still want to extent my knowledge in that area.
