- Subject: Good baroque/classical patches?
-
- I downloaded a bunch of reasonably good patches on EPAS some time ago
- but I cant seem to locate them again.
- The Elysium patch collection has a reasonable clarinet, but the oboe
- and bassoon are pretty ordinary and I haven't
- seen any really good brass for a while.
-
- I have seen a few GUSsers submit some nice classical midi arrangements,
- but the modern pianos, clarinets and guitars
- dont do them the justice they deserve.
- How 'bout some patches of original instruments- natural trumpets, full
- range of recorders(sopranino, descant, treble,bass), violas, viola da
- gamba, theorbo, lute, harpsichords, organs, piano forte etc...
-
- Can someone point me to where I might get some decent patches of these
- instruments?

- Around $500 and you get a keyboard, stereo amp, two speakers, midi i/o,
- and a few nicely done patches for two pianos, vibes, and others.

-
- I'm not certain the patches are bigger. But they are layered for
- velocity and either stereo or spatially enhanced. And they don't have
- to live in a noisy PC backplane.
-
- I don't doubt that we could have much better patches if we had the likes
- of Roland or Yamaha building them. So far, the musician community has
- pretty much ignored the GUS.

-
- Why not post the modified patch? We'd probably all appreciate it.
