1553.0. "Roland MKS50, Alpha Juno patches" by CLULES::SPEED (If it doesn't rack, it doesn't roll) Thu Jul 21 1988 12:23

    I am looking for decent alternate patches for my Roland MKS-50 module.
    This module is equivalent to the Roland Alpha Juno-1 and Alpha Juno-2
    sythesizers.
    
    Anyone bought patches from a third party?  Anyone have any good
    ones they would like to post?
    
    		Thanks,
    		Derek

    Hi Derek,
    	I too would like alternate sounds for the MKS50.  Unfortunately,
    I have none to offer!  (except a couple that I input from soundsheets
    in RUG magazine.  One was called SuperJupiter Brass -- fell just
    a little short of the real thing).
    	So anyway, are there many third party sounds offered for this
    module?  I haven't been keeping up with it.  I've found the original
    (128) factory patches to be more than useful in my applications,
    with some tweeking.
    
    	So, the bottom line is, I can't contribute to your request for
    more sounds, but I thought you might like to hear from another MKS50
    owner.  If you ever want to go in on some third party sounds together,
    I'm game.
    
    	Ron
1553.2Here's one.PANGLS::BAILEYThu Jul 21 1988 18:4520
    Here's my favorite creation (I like blasty sounds):
    
    Name: Grumpy
    DCO RNG = 8'   DCO LFO = 00    DCO ENV = 00    DCO ENV = |\-.
    DCO AFTR = 00  DCO BEND = 02   PULSE = 03      SAWTOOTH = 01
    SUB = 01       SUB LEVL = 03   NOIS LVL = 00   PW/PWM = 96
    PWM RATE = 00  HPF FREQ = 00   VCF FREQ = 127  VCF RESO = 39
    VCF ENV = 127  VCF ENV = |\-.  VCF LFO = 127   VCF KYBD = 08
    VCF AFTR = 00  VCA LEVL = 114  VCA ENV = D|\-. VCA AFTR = 00
    CHORUS = ON    CRS RATE = 72   LFO RATE = 127  LFO DELY = 00
    ENV T1 = 00    ENV L1 = 127    ENV T2 = 00     ENV L2 = 127
    ENV T3 = 00    ENV L3 =127     ENV T4 = 50     ENV KYBD = 00
    
    I find the machine easy to program for sustained sounds like this,
    (which is what I use it for) so I haven't really looked for any third
    party patches. I'm certainly never going to get digital natives to come
    dancing out of it, but hey...
