I think ideally this would be included in one of the (many?) text
blocks in the patch header. I found myself in the situation of
downloading several revisions of the piano.pat and piano2.pat patches
by Chris Wilkins and not knowing which was the latest. This could
have been solved easily by having the revision number inside the
patch itself. Chris, is there any easy way to tell if I have the
latest? The FTP sites have 1 piano.pat and 3 revisions of piano2.pat.
This is also why I like .WAV files better than .SND. (it has the
recording Hz info inside so I don't have to guess.) Keeping the same
DOS name for the patch is fine as long as the revision number is internal.
And, of course, include the same information in an accompanying text file
for easy browsing of uploads.

Anyone have a pointer to a good brush snare patch?

Subject: PatchMaker gripe
I've got a gripe about an otherwise very useful utility: Gravis' PatchMaker
lite. Why cannot you load a waveform larger than 64 k?? This makes it
of limited use for creating loops, etc. Is this an inherent limitation of
the GUS, or could this be remedied in future versions of PatchMaker?

I think the easiest way is to put the proper revision level into the
description field of the patch header, and to name the patch the same
name as the original one. Numberings of the patch name should be more
suitable when used for variations on the same samples.
