You can tell I miss the TS and predecessors' patch select buttons by looking at the descriptions below. Fortunately, the instrument permits any controller to be used as a switch between layers, and I've chosen the modwheel.

Sound philosophy for me: rich, but *in tune*! I most often tweak factory patches to reduce the detuning to a more musical level except for real special effects. For pads, I'll emphasize subtle amounts of random detuning for built-in chorusing (though added chorus effects are still very nice too).

They are zipped directly from the PC-format disk files the MR keyboards produce. If you've got the rack, I guess I can provide them in the Unisyn format -- just ask.

• PrincChorus: a pretty good pipe organ pincipal chorus built from one sample of the flute. Advancing the modwheel adds to the 8-foot principal, in succession: 4', 2 ', 2-2/3', and 16'. It's pretty voice intensive, since each pitch is an added oscillator!
• HarpNPad: a harp tweaked to my taste, with a subtle sustaining pad. The modwheel will add the sound an octave lower in the middle of its travel; near the end of its travel, it will play the octave lower only.
• LegatoOooz: the "Legato Strings" patch layered with a vocal sound an octave higher. Wonderful blend!
• ComfyCouch: based on the ComfortZone provided patch, advancing the mod wheel will change the sound to four different variations of this basic two-voice pad. (And how nice they sound with just two voices!) The last one, made of two transwaves, is my favorite, and I'm now experimenting with more transwave combinations.
• Oozsounds (sound bank): a bank of nice thick layers I made once. These have not been tweaked in detail, so some may be using more voices than needed for satisfactory effect.
• webpat.zip (sound bank): All of the above in a zipped .ubk file to be loaded via Unisyn.
