This is a collection of Microwave patches that I spent some time and had 
a lot of fun creating.  I use my MicroWave for Techno and Ambient dance music,
and I thought that there might be some other folks out there doing the same, 
and a set of sounds would be useful....

To that end, here is the "SPG" ambient sound bank.  You may find things you 
like in here, you may find things you don't.  Your mileage may vary.  I have 
used all of the sounds in here at one time or another.  And to help things along, 
here are some application notes:

Bass Patches:
	These are sitting in slots A1 to A8.  I tried to tone these down a bit 
	from my normal "techno" bass sounds.  I have used these with small room 
	reverbs and a bit of bass boost with great success.  
	
Sweep Patches:
	Sweeps are in locations A9 through A20. These are a lot of fun to add 
	texture to songs,  I usually treat these with chorus and some plate 
	reverb to fatten them up.  But if you have a good phaser, these are a
	natural for that.
	
Pad Patches:
	I advise the use of chorus and some chamber reverb on these guys.  They 
	are used to "fill out" the sonic landscape on some songs.  They are 
	found at A21 through A32.
	
FX Patches:
	I usually uses these things with pretty heavy reverb as well.  Feel free 
	to dump it on.  Think of it as the FX patch is giving the reverb 
	something to bounce around with.  Found in B1 to B5.

Perc Patches:
	Gated reverb will make these alot more fun.  I tossed these in for 
	grins. Look for them in slots B6 to B9

Ambient Patches:
	You may listen to these and think "what the hell... these are not very 
	ambient!".  The trick is that all of these work with Reverb patches in
	my rig.  Most of them should be washed in big amounts of gooey reverb.  
	If you want to roll your own reverb program, use something with very wet 
	setting.  I go for the "Tile shower room" effect.  The MicroWave has no 
	reverb of it's own, so a little boost helps out.
	
	These are found in locations B10 to B22.  
	
Synth Patches:
	These are not the best synth patches in the world.  I usually use them 
	stacked with something else.  They do tend to layer well.  Located in 
	B23 through B32
	
Multi Patches.
	Yeah... Not even a full set.  My favorites are Mars and Mercury.  Kind 
	of shows you the rather frightening power of the MicroWave.

I hope you folks find some use in these.  If you like them, send me mail 
(bruce@pages.com).  

Just so you know, these patches are considered public domain.  I am 
contributing them to the WavePool to further the Waldorf cause.  Feel 
free to use them without permission or royalty.  If you feel really happy 
about them you can give programming credits in you liner notes to either 
Bruce Henderson or the SPG.

Enjoy!
