🎀 AGUSLOAD(1) 🎀

okay bestie, this one comes from the AWE32 manual 🦋 and it's all about agusload ✨

✨ NAME ✨

okay so agusload is the command that loads a GUS-format patch file into the AWE32 RAM 💖

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

agusload [- [-b bank] [-p preset] GUSpatch

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

ngl this page is giving "written in a hurry" energy 🙈 but here's the tea. This page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, though anyone can use it, because the original program doesn't come with a manual page of its own 🫶

gusload is the program that reads a GUS-format patch file and uploads it to the Linux AWE32 driver. Then other AWE32 utilities, like drvmidi(1), can use it 🧚

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

the program follows the usual UNIX command line syntax, but it doesn't support long options (the ones that start with two dashes) 🙅‍♀️ Here's the summary of the options it accepts 💜

  • -D [file] — sets the hwdep device name 🔌
  • -i — resets all samples 🧹
  • -v — verbose mode, so it tells you more about what it's doing 📢
  • -p [preset] — sets the instrument number to [preset]. If you don't set it, it uses whatever's in the patch file 🌈
  • -b [bank] — sets the "bank" the instruments get loaded into. Defaults to bank 0 🍓
  • -k [keynote] — sets the fixed keynote for the instrument. Defaults to whatever's in the patch file 🎹
