The first sample ever done:

Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go.

(What? You want another missing SDK-DIGEST?)

Anybody got a multi-layer patch file example?

Okay, here's a weird one. Several of the drum patches have a low/high
freq that makes its root out of place. For example (from PATCHIS),

F:\SND\GUS\MIDI\SURDO2.PAT

The Low: and High: are odd, wouldn't you say? Is there an explanation for
this or is it just a bug (or what)?  Someone also mentioned a replacement
patch for #127. That RINGWHSL.PAT is irksome. Got a name for this file? Is
it one of the 808* zips on epas? Anyone know what Scale Freq & Factor are used
for? And is it just me, or don't answers get posted here? And is that FracStart
correct? Doesn't Gravis spec/advertise a fractional loop end and not start
(though the hardware takes both)? It'd be nice to see some sort of reply.
Hate to think I'm putting keystrokes on my keyboard writing to myself.
