- Hey, what's up Martin?
- OK, you want MPU-401 emulation? You've got it. There's a shareware program
- to do just that. It should be called mpu401em or the like, works for SB and
- GUS.
- HTH,

- Using a Yamaha driver for a Kawai device might not work, there probably
- will be something like a manufacturer ID in the driver.
- For Kawai that is 40 (Hexadecimal) so if it does not work straight away
- you might use a powerful editor (norton or the like) and look for
- SYSEX string. (Starts with F0 if I remember correctly)
-
- Anyway, the drivers should indeed come from Kawai I think,
- just thinking of a workaround in case they do not.
-
- Does anybody have E-mail adresses for Yamaha, Kawai, Roland
- and such? might come in handy someday..
-
- Yours Truly, Paul.

- Subject: New patches uploaded to Epas.
-
- Hi there. I figured i'd finally get off my tail and start uploading some
- of my extensive set of custom patches. The first three archives have
- been uploaded to Epas as mnpats01.zip, mnpats02.zip, and mnpats03.zip.
-
- I take requests--i know what it's like to have a 1MB GUS but no 16-bit
- daughtercard to do any good sampling. If you need a particular sound,
- i'll try to scan through my archives and locate something in the ballpark.
-
- File descriptions follow.
-
- +----------------------------+------+----------------------+---------------+
- | The M. Nordan Patch Series | # 01 | Synth basses | MNPATCH01.ZIP |
- +----------------------------+------+----------------------+---------------+
-
- Volume #1 contains the following:
-
- SBASS1.PAT Percussive, very synth-ish
- SBASS2.PAT A smooth-sounding synth bass
- SBASS3.PAT Short bass stab. Good for high-tempo dance stuff.
- SBASS4.PAT Kind of moog-sounding.
- SBASS5.PAT Sounds like a fretless with a slight percussive
- attack.
- SBASS6.PAT Like the previous patch, but with a more mellow
- attack.
- SBASS7.PAT A phase-shifted sound, not enormously useful.
- SBASS8.PAT A soft-edged stab, remind me for some reason of
- Machines of Loving Grace . . .
- SBASS9.PAT Kind of odd.
-
- +----------------------------+------+----------------------+---------------+
- | The M. Nordan Patch Series | # 01 | Synth basses | MNPATCH01.ZIP |
- +----------------------------+------+----------------------+---------------+
-
- Volume #1 contains the following:
-
- VFXBASS1.PAT Muted slap bass.
- VFXBASS2.PAT A slap bass again, but with more high end.
- VFXBASS3.PAT Another slap bass, this one has a percussive click
- in the attack.
- VFXBASS4.PAT A mellow bass sound with a poppish attack.
- VFXBASS5.PAT A _very_ electronic bass drone.
- VFXBASS6.PAT Like the previous patch, but beefier.
- VFXBASS7.PAT My favorite; a very synth-sounding bass stab.
- VFXBASS8.PAT A muted, dance-sounding bass.
- VFXSTRIN.PAT Just the raw material for a synth string section;
- i could _not_ get a good loop out of it. It's
- not even set up for sustain. Hopefully you can
- do better.
- VFXSYNJR.PAT Neat little tonal synth hit for those high-end,
- NiN-style electronic percolations . . .
-
- +----------------------------+------+-----------------------+--------------+
- | The M. Nordan Patch Series | # 03 | One measly bass. | MNPATS03.ZIP |
- +----------------------------+------+-----------------------+--------------+
-
- Volume #3 contains the following:
-
- MNBASS01.PAT I sampled this little guy from a Mac Davis album
- and looped it. You can definitely tell it came
- from vinyl, i was just kind of proud of this one.
-
- They're in
-
- pub/pc/ultrasound/submit
-
- of course. Do check them out. There's been a dearth of new patches on
- the archives lately.
