- Subject: 1MB enough for a piano patch?
-
- Yes, of course 1MB is good enough for a piano patch. Your average
- sample-playback synth off the street only has 8MB to 16MB of waveform
- ROM, of which piano samples--often for multiple pianos--are only a
- fragment. The GUS can't do any nifty filtering or stuff to make sample
- transitions smoother, but in theory a good 1MB GUS piano is definitely
- possible . . .

- Subject: Cant get bosendorf patch to work :-(
-
- I can't get the bosendorf piano patch to work!
- When using GUS patch manager, loading this patch has no
- effect - I am unable to hear any sound at all!
-
- Other patches I've down-loaded work fine.
-
- I have a 1Mb GUS. The GUS memory test passes with no problems.
-
- Any ideas ?

- Subject: GUS patches with Screamtracker?
-
- Here's my problem: The patches that come with a GUS don't work with
- Screamtracker but most patches I've created myself do work. If anyone has had
- the same problem I'd love to know if you've found away around it (other than
- just not using them). Oh yeh could anyone point me to a site that carries a
- good (non-corrupt) copy of ptmid? And...well I'll hit you with the rest
- tommorrow.

- Subject: PIANO PATCH
-
- Hello,
-
- as I am very interested getting good piano patches I tried the bosen_l
- patch instantly. Although I have a GUS with 1 Meg it didn't load due to
- memory shortage (no other patch was loaded at that time, if I believe what
- the Patch Manager tells). I used PatchMaker and removed the last lowest
- sample and got a smaller patch that I could load. True, it sounds better than
- any other piano patch I know for the GUS, but I use a Yamaha CLP 760 as
- my main piano and the bosen_l clearly falls short of the Yamaha.
- Not only that there are distinct differences in the timbre of the different
- samples, there is also a lot of noise and crackling around some notes
- (problem of my GUS installation ?) The main problem with this patch (and
- many other other 'digital pianos') is however, that you need multi-layered
- samples to match an original piano sound. A piano tone sounds very different
- depending on the velocity with which you play it. This behaviour can only
- be simulated using multi-layered samples. I wonder if the GUS supports such
- samples at all.
-
- Greetings.
