This is Eric A. Welsh's collection of Gravis UltraSound MIDI patches,
|
||
|
|
configured for use with the TiMidity++ MIDI player. A configuration file
|
||
|
|
for TiMidity++ to use these patches is also included.

I hope that all of these patches are the best ones you've ever heard. I've
|
||
|
|
worked really hard to try to ensure this. I collected patches from the
|
||
|
|
Ultrasound mirrors, Midia, Kurzweil archives, Roland archives, Yamaha
|
||
|
|
archives, Maui, maybe a few from MAZ, and just about every known source of
|
||
|
|
patches on the net. I have tried to leave no stone unturned.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have removed clicks, changed volumes of samples within multipart patches
|
||
|
|
so that they are the same relative to each other, relooped samples, created
|
||
|
|
new instruments by combining others, edited out bad samples, remapped the
|
||
|
|
note mappings to samples, rekeyed samples, retuned samples, changed
|
||
|
|
envelopes, hand edited some to remove oversampling, and just about any other
|
||
|
|
kind of manipulation you can think of.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I think by now I have listened to every patch while being played in a midi
|
||
|
|
file, so I've heard them over all sorts of ranges not intended for the
|
||
|
|
instruments, in combination with instruments that might be slightly out of
|
||
|
|
tune with the one in question, and heard most if not all the waveforms in
|
||
|
|
multipatch instruments. Hopefully all the patches now in the collection
|
||
|
|
will sound good in every midi file they are used in.
