See the missing pat list below and feel free to 39contribute any GUS patches OR free and open wav files that can be 40turned into patches or SoundFonts. 41 4220060218 43 44Walt@w-gregg.juneau.ak.us (Walt Gregg) uploaded patches to fill out drumset 450 and a ridiculously commented 'full.cfg' to take advantage of them. Like 46'crude.cfg' it uses substitute instruments to fill out missing patches: 47 48 035_Kick_1.pat 49 036_Kick_2.pat 50 039_Clap_Hand.pat 51 041_Tom_Low_2.pat 52 043_Tom_Low_1.pat 53 045_Tom_Mid_2.pat 54 047_Tom_Mid_1.pat 55 048_Tom_High_2.pat 56 050_Tom_High_1.pat 57 053_Cymbal_Ride_Bell.pat 58 062_Conga_High_1_Mute.pat 59 069_Cabasa.pat 60 075_Claves.pat 61 078_Cuica_1_Mute.pat 62 079_Cuica_2_Open.pat 63 6420040611 65 66We finally have a license !!!

It may 67not suit everyone so feel free to comment on the Wiki at... 68http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=FreePats 69 7020040320 71 72Added "crude.cfg" which is an alternate config file that attempts to 73match some of the currently available pats to those that are still 74missing. It makes the current freepat set somewhat more usable until 75we get to a point where all, or nearly all, pats are included. 76 77Here is an example of an associated text file that can be included 78for each freepat when the mkcfg.sh.txt script creates freepats.cfg. 79As an example, the pat file below has an associated text file... 80 81 freepats/Tone_000/000_Acoustic_Grand_Piano.pat 82 freepats/Tone_000/000_Acoustic_Grand_Piano.txt 83 84with the contents outlined below and if you check freepats.cfg you 85will notice the first line below is appended in the cfg file. 86---- 87amp=120 pan=center 88 89The very first line of any associated *.txt file will be appended 90to the auto-generated freepats.cfg file by the mkcfg.sh.txt script. 91 92The rest of the file can be used for any purpose whatsoever, like 93misc notes, a history of how the pat was created and/or changes to 94this particular pat. 95---- 96 9720040319 98 99Changes to instruments noted below; 100 101acpiano relooped 102synpiano relooped 103clavinet all new, samples from Thomas Korte 104celeste all new samples to replace Gravis samples 105tubebell new sample to replace Gravis samples 106church new low samples 107timpani redid the declipping 108marcato swapped out a Gravis sample (2nd sample) with a non-Gravis one 109trumpet all new samples 110trombone all new samples 111tuba all new samples 112flute swapped out a Gravis sample (highest) with a non-Gravis one 113ocarina relooped + retuned low samples, lessened LFO vibrato 114sitar new samples to replace Gravis samples 115steeldrm replaced a sample with an ancestral sample (same sample but 116 higher quality), thanks to Rodrigo Nuno Bragan 117highq replaced Gravis sample with non-Gravis one 118 119----------------------------------------------------------- 120 MISSING PATCHES 121----------------------------------------------------------- 122 123Tone Bank 000: 124 125003_Honky_Tonk_Piano.pat 126010_Music_Box.pat 127011_Vibraphone.pat 128012_Marimba.pat 129017_Percussive_Organ.pat 130018_Rock_Organ.pat 131020_Reed_Organ.pat 132022_Harmonica.pat 133031_Guitar_Harmonics.pat 134039_Synth_Bass_2.pat 135043_Contrabass.pat 136041_Viola.pat 137049_String_Ensemble_2_Slow.pat 138050_Synth_Strings_1.pat 139051_Synth_Strings_2.pat 140052_Choir_Aahs.pat 141054_Synth_Voice.pat 142055_Orchestra_Hit.pat 143062_Synth_Brass_1.pat 144063_Synth_Brass_2.pat 145077_Shakuhachi.pat 146078_Whistle.pat 147081_Saw_Wave.pat 148082_Calliope.pat 149083_Chiff_Lead.pat 150085_Voice_Lead.pat 151086_Lead_Fifth.pat 152087_Bass_Lead.pat 153089_Warm_Pad.pat 154090_Polysynth.pat 155091_Choir_Pad.pat 156092_Bowed_Pad.pat 157093_Metal_Pad.pat 158096_Rain--Aurora.pat 159097_Soundtrack.pat 160099_Atmosphere.pat 161100_Brightness.pat 162103_Sci-Fi--Startrak.pat 163105_Banjo.pat 164106_Shamisen.pat 165107_Koto.pat 166108_Kalimba.pat 167109_Bagpipe.pat 168110_Fiddle.pat 169111_Shanai.pat 170112_Tinkle_Bells--Carillon.pat 171113_Agogo.pat 172116_Taiko.pat 173117_Melodic_Tom.pat 174118_Synth_Tom.pat 175119_Reverse_Cymbal.pat 176121_Breath_Noise.pat 177123_Bird_Tweet.pat 178124_Telephone_Ring.pat 179126_Applause.pat 180127_Pistol.pat 181 182Drum Bank 000: 183 184028_Slap.pat 185029_Scratch_1_Push.pat 186030_Scratch_2_Pull.pat 187 188083_Jingle_Bell.pat 189085_Castanet.pat 190086_Surdo_1_Mute.pat 191087_Surdo_2_Open.pat 192
