  29. *  What's new in version 1.31 ( compared to v1.30 ) 02-12-95                  *
  30. *  =========================================================                  *
  31. *                                                                             *
  32. *  70 of the v1.30 patches are changed and there are 2 new patches.           *
  33. *  Now there is also Windows version of the Patmenu included ( wpatmenu.exe ).*
  34. *                                                                             *
  35. *                                                                             *
  36. *  - There were several bugs in the v1.30 of PPLT. I fixed all the            *
  37. *    bug I noticed. It is useless to list them all here. Mainly the           *
  38. *    bugs related to bad loopings and tunings.                                *
  39. *                                                                             *
  40. *  - Some people have noted about clicky and poppy drums. I checked them      *
  41. *    out, but didn't find any problems. However, I made a little fade out     *
  42. *    into each drum to make it sure.                                          *
  43. *                                                                             *
  44. *  - Now the acoustic piano of the MegaEm 3.xx emulation is also changed      *
  45. *    to 80kB small\acpiano.pat patch, so you don't have to suffer any more    *
  46. *    from the terrible original GUS piano !!                                  *
  47. *                                                                             *
  48. *                                                                             *
  49. *       snare1           - Brighter acoustic snare. Has a good effect to the  *
  50. *                          overall sound quality.                             *
  51. *                                                                             *
  52. * [new] acguitar         - The patch provided in the v1.30 of PPLT wasn't so  *
  53. *                          good as the one in v1.20. So I made a smaller      *
  54. *                          version of the v1.20 patch.                        *
  55. *                                                                             *
  56. *       odguitar         - The patch sounded better without one waveform !    *
  57. *                          Now it's smaller and better.                       *
  58. *                                                                             *
  59. * [new] nyguitar         - Someone noted that the guitars provided in the     *
  60. *                          MaxPats patch set were better. Well I tested       *
  61. *                          them and found that the nylon guitar was indeed    *
  62. *                          somewhat better. In fact it is a louder version of *
  63. *                          the GUS original nylon guitar.                     *
  64. *                                                                             *
