- No, it must have some sort of synthesizer. I've been
- playing around with the patches, trying to feed them through
- a sample player, like Blaster Master, and most patches
- sound horrible, so they can't be pure samples.
-
- And also, if the patches were (almost) plain samples,
- why have the long header?

- Nope, I guess not. :-)
- It was just something I'd been told, I haven't heard the EPS-16
- myself.

- But I'm almost convinced that it's an Ensoniq chip on the card.

- There has to be more to it. (Or at least I hope there is)
- What I really want is some sort of sample -> patch converter,
- so that I can use the GUS for F/X, and let my MIDI-keyboards
- play the music.
