+----------------------------+------+----------------------+---------------+

        The patches in this series are created by Matthew M. Nordan,
        although that information is not included in the patch files
        themselves.  Anyone may use them free of charge.

        Volume #1 contains the following:

        VFXBASS1.PAT	Muted slap bass.
	VFXBASS2.PAT	A slap bass again, but with more high end.
	VFXBASS3.PAT	Another slap bass, this one has a percussive click
			in the attack.
	VFXBASS4.PAT	A mellow bass sound with a poppish attack.
	VFXBASS5.PAT	A _very_ electronic bass drone.
	VFXBASS6.PAT	Like the previous patch, but beefier.
	VFXBASS7.PAT	My favorite; a very synth-sounding bass stab.
	VFXBASS8.PAT	A muted, dance-sounding bass.
	VFXSTRIN.PAT	Just the raw material for a synth string section;
			i could _not_ get a good loop out of it.  It's
			not even set up for sustain.  Hopefully you can
			do better.
	VFXSYNJR.PAT	Neat little tonal synth hit for those high-end,
			NiN-style electronic percolations . . . 

Look for the M. Nordan Patch Series in the /pub/pc/ultrasound/submit
directory at archive.epas.utoronto.ca.  More files should be forthcoming.

How can you show your appreciation for these sounds?  Support my under-
ground record label, 137 Records.  All these sounds were created for my
industrial project, Angst; the GUS is the only sampler i've used to date.
For info on how to get Angst's releases and on 137 Records in general, 
send e-mail to:

	137.records@yale.edu

I also welcome any feedback on these sounds, and encourage you to enhance
them--and make sure to upload your new versions to epas!  Mail to:

	matthew.nordan@yale.edu

Good luck.  If you're having problems using the GUS to make "serious
music," maybe i can help you out--i've definitely been through my share of
problems getting the GUS to sound like a pro sampler, but it's possible.
