-
- get a copy of apollo.zip This is a 'digital delay program' It only
- works at 8 bit sampling resolution and so is a bit 'grungey' but it has
- various settings and can produce some quite groovy delay/reverb/echo
- effects on a sound source.
-
- You can find it on any of the ultrasound software sites in subdirectory

-
- I can certainly understand your concerns.
-
- First off, there are 1200+ different sounds on the two CDs and they are vary
- greatly. There is all kinds of stuff on there. So they are not replacements
- for the GM set per se. There are certainly a lot of patches that are GM sounds
- though.
-
- You've probably heard some of Francois Dion's stuff, especially the drum
- patches that are publicly available. These versions are improved from those -
- cleaned up a bit and tweeked according to Francois, but in any case that gives
- you an idea of a fraction of the Vol. 1 sounds.
-
- And if you've come across any of the Pure Energy samples (like WILLOW.PAT)
- than you have an idea of the quality of the synth patches on Vol. 2.
-
- However...
-
- I need to find a way to let you folks here these patches. They are very large
- to upload. And you could only hear a fraction of them that way.
-
- The best alternative to me seems to be the production of an audio tape, or a
- phone-in system that would let you hear a variety of sounds. As we release the
- patches in more formats we could justify the production of such a tape.
-
- Would you guys pay $5.00 for a sample tape? (the $5.00 would be redeemed if
- you purchased the CDs).

-
- I think that's a very good idea, I was interested in the patch CD-ROM too but
- I would never buy it without having heard at least 5-10% of the patches
- considering how much it costs. So an upload of some patches representative of
- the CD-ROM contents would be very welcome (I think they would increase sales
- a lot if the patches on the CD are really good...).
-
- Cheers, Arne

- Subject: Computer Music bibliography
-
- There is a bibliography on synthesizers, midi, computer and electronic
- music that I have collected from various sources. I have tried to bring
- some structure into it, but not all books will fit into a single subject.
- NOTE: I haven't read these books, and the comments are from other people.
