- Heirarchy description. There are 484-550 soundfiles (waves), don't know which,
- that feed patches. Each bank has 35 patches. Each bank also has 50
- which can use up to 8 patches from any bank.
- >4. Can the Wavestation EX receive SysEx information?
- Usually. :-) Mine is a little cranky.
- >5. Is there any software that can send new patches over MIDI from a Mac

- I use Galaxy+editors. Many others available.
- >6. I saw an ad for Wavestation patches on disk. How would one load these?
- I'd assume they are in some kind of standard format. Call the vendor.
- >7. What is the best price you've seen for this keyboard, new? Guitar
- > Showcase in San Jose has it for $1590 or thereabouts.
- Rumor has it mailorder is getting pretty good. I got mine for 1400 from
- a music shop that discoverred it can't sell synths. Judging by the
- signs on the windows, it can't sell pianos, either... See the new equipment
- pricelist posted at the beginning of the month for more info.
