I bought mine in Japan, where they were quite expensive. I guess they'll
be $15 to $20 apiece, however.

Sorry. I know nothing about the patches. There were a great number of D10
patches floating around a while ago, and they were quite easy to convert
to GUS patches.

Subject: roland D10 keyboard programs.. help!
I have d'loaded three or four programs for my D10 keyboard. They are
supposed to be file/patch managers but I haven't had luck with ANY of
them.
With Livewire audio's d10 "tones" sampler, they give you two programs to
send patches to the d10 with -- MIDIEX and QS. Both need an MPU401
interface but even with the Beta Megaem, I can't get the patches to
transfer.
With the Windows Midi Watcher, I am totally confused on how it works
(just in case someone mentiones the program. I will try to contact the
programmer).
With Midimenu for DOS, I can use megaem and get the program to recognize
the MPU interface (I think), but it won't access my keyboard's patch
dump).
So, are there other programs? Are there limitations to the Megaem
MPU-401 interface emulation? Am I lost?
thanks. --

The MIDI sequences were designed for Sound Canvas products, like the SCC-1. The
patches were to help adapt them to the GUS.

Any idea how much the Roland disks cost? I'll ask my music store (who no
longer sells Roland keyboards normally but still may be able to order
stuff from their catalog) but I'm just wondering what to expect.
=> if you own a Roland S-series sampler, you can obtain sample
files at lotus.uwaterloo.ca . THere is a utility to convert
them from PC format to Roland disk format. Perhaps with a
little programming, you can convert the samples to GUS format.
(I might see if this is feasable after my exams.)
are Roland's as well? Do you know the sizes of them or anything? How easy
would it be to convert Roland patches to GUS patches? I have had several
requests for the patches. Some people say they've tried to sample some, but
had no luck with brushes. It would be nice if at least the patches could be
released.
=> regarding patch sizes, my W30 patches always managed to
fit into one 1.44 disk. THere are always more or more
patches and the largest patches are the piano samples.
