1602.0. "DMCS instrument limitations. {Deluce Music}" by ANT::GERBER (Robert Gerber) Tue Aug 16 1988 17:50

    What is the limit to the number of instruments that you can keep
    in one directory for DMCS?
    
    My problem is that when I added another instrument to the driectory
    (to bring it up to 60 {sixty}), whenever I try and do a load instrument
    I get garbage for a file listing in its requestor, and it guru's
    out when you try to do a load or a cancel.  Loaded songs do get
    all their instruments properly,  the problem only occurs during
    a 'Load Instrument' request.
    
    Am I going to have to make several instrument directories with the
    most common ones duplicated so I can load songs easily?

1602.1same problem on MUSIC directoryPCCAD7::BAEDERD. Scott DTN 237-2961 SHR1-3/E19Wed Aug 17 1988 13:157
    your right...there is a limit...I haven't run into it on instruments,
    but I did on songs (Hard drive)...so I split them into 4 or 5
    subdirectories.   the symptoms were the same....garbage, then guru..
    
    so...I guess splitting it is the only answer ....

    I got some animal sounds from fred fish public domain software.
    I made some good voices with Synthia ($70).  I bought some mediocre
    ones from ECT Sampleware for $25.
