- About 40 high-quality patches can fit into 1 Meg of memory on the GUS.

- Depends. One "very high quality" sampled piano alone takes more than
- 1M.
-
-
- A patch on the GUS is just the following:
-
- Start--------------------------------LoopS------------End
-
- Ah. This is very simple (and limited) sample playback. Where is the
- wavetable synthesis?
-
- Could someone describe what a GUS patch contains if it is more than a
- sample with single forward-only loop? You said that decay is done by
- amplitude modulation. Does this imply a single decay-time parameter or
- does it have a real envelope generator (in software) ?
-
- BTW. Amplitude modulation is widely understood somewhat differently -
- like in AM radio.
