WowPats v1.0 Release
--------------------

        After many, MANY, days of patch making, I have finished what I
feel to be a descent number of patches to upload to the net.  I have
many more patches and will continue to make them but the Zip contains
those that are 'done' or close to being 'done' by me.  Now for a short
overview of the patches contained within WowPats1.Zip :

        I use all these patches in replacement of the GM set the comes
with the Gravis UltraSound soundcard.  I currently have an UltraSound
MAX with 512k and have only run out of memory using these patches with a
few MIDIs of my hundreds.  These patches are some of the best I have
heard, especially for the size (IMHO).  Replace your own patches at your
own risk.  I advise you to make sure you have backups of your original
patches.  These Patches sound extremely good under a Windows MIDI player.
For some strange reason though, they exhibit much static when using
PlayMidi for DOS.  I have no idea they will sound on an OS 2/2.1 machine.
Again, enjoy and show off all these patches to your friends.

        If you have any patch needs, drop me a line.  I'll see what I
can do.
