Subject: Choir patch...

I know someone out there must be taking patches from other synths on
making them for the GUS.  I have a question, is someone out there holding
onto any CHOIR patches?  The Choir Aah patch is pretty bad, you can really
hear the difference in 7th GUest when compared to the Roland SCC-1
recordings on the second disk.  Otherwise, its pretty good.  But many
games use the choir patch, and it just doesn't sound that good...

What model and what patches?

Do you need them? If you do then it's certainly worth the effort i would say!
:)
Seriously, these sounds are usually pretty easy to loop if you dont modulate
them.

Not sure what you mean. 60% of what?

What volume control are you talking of? If you are using the output of the
Yamaha directly without a mixer, you probably have mismatched impedance.

Subject: New patches

	I've looked everywhere, and I can't figure out how to install new
patches so that they're available for use under Windows. (like the 808 sets) 
Can anyone help?  (please email)
