       35 file(s)

      If a file is missing or is not of this length, please ask the person
you got it from to erase the archive and get the correct version from one of
the official distribution points (see end of file).

909CLAP1, 909CLAP2 and 909CLAP3 are 3 different hand claps.
909CLAV1 and 909CLAV2 are clave percs.
909CYMB1 is a crash cymbal. The ride cymbal is 909RCYM1
909HH1 to 909HH5 are 5 closed hihat sound. The Open hihat sounds are 909OH1
and 909OH2.
909KICK1 to 909KICK9 are various kick drums, 2 of them layered, 2 distorted.
909RIM1 and 909RIM2 are rim shots.
909SD1 to 909SD7 are various snare drums.
909TOML is a low tom.

      A note for people using playmidi: when playmidi reads the .cfg file,
the parser cant read patch names that start with a number. to remedy to that:
type the full path of the patch. Example, if you want to use 909SD2.PAT at
position 34 in the percussions:

      34 ultrasnd\midi\909sd2

      Or even better, you can create a new directory and put all the custom
patches there:

      34 ultrasnd\custom\909sd2

      for example. (but keep in mind that you cannot use custom directories 
in ultrasnd.ini).

What's next
===========
      
      More percussive instruments (TR-626) are beeing made now
(September 1st 1993), and they will be released sometime in the future.
      In parallel i'll be doing a REAL patch serie (real instruments) and an
ANASYN patch serie (analog synths).
