== JDCRYSTL.KRZ == This is a stereo 44.1K multi-sampled patch from the Roland JD-800. The patch was named "Crystal Rhodes" and is included with the internal factory patches on the JD. The sampling was done direct from the outputs of the JD-800 into my K2000RS and is comprised of 3 split points. The low frequency filter is applied to the patch to simulate a darker/warmer sound when played lightly vs a brighter/brilliant sound when played forcefully. Since one of the JD-800's strongest features is its integrated multi-effects processors, I did the sampling with the JD-800's internal effects/reverb/chorus processors on. By doing so, the samples on the Kurzweil play back complete with the JD's integrated multi-effects while not utilizing/tying-up the Kurzweil's own effects (thus elimininating extra noise and freeing its use for other patches). The downside is that near the low extreme ranges of the split points, the reverb's "slap back" seems a little sluggish. However, I was trying to make it all fit within a single 1.44K HD floppy. An example of this "Crystal Rhodes" patch (but probably played from an actual JD-800) can be heard as the primary synth/keyboard instrument on many of the tracks of Kenny G's latest album release, "Breathless". Credits: This Kurzweil patch was sampled, looped, edited, and programmed by Billy Brown utilizing his Kurzweil K2000RS stocked with 34 MEG of RAM and a Quantum LPS-240 hard drive. --- Billyb (** Bouncer **) billy@irvine.com
