BIGD50 - 67 banks of D50 sounds, mad available by Pete Lyall
22 March, 1992
=============================================================


There are about 67 banks of D50 SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE loadable sounds
that I am depositing on USCD.EDU. These banks may be loaded with
any tool capable of sending SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE dumps, on any computer.

Approximately 39 of these banks are full dumps (36048 bytes), and about 28
are half-dumps (14896 bytes).

Some of these banks will load without error.

Some will load with MIDI COMMUNICATIONS ERROR at the end... simply
press the EXIT button on the D50, and you'll see that you got 99.99%
of it. You can correct this by simply re-dumping the bank back to your
computer.

All of the HALF BANKS will appear to hang the D50... just press EXIT,
and you'll note that the lower 32 patches have changed (patches 11
through 48)..

Note that the OTHER banks in the archive (there were about 7) are
not loadable via SYSEX ... all of their headers and trailers were
stripped somewhere along the line. I have fixed them and re-uploaded them here.

The rest of the patches came from the CIS MIDI Forum. Chris Bosshardt
uploaded them, and of 66 banks, only 14 were loadable. I wrote 
reformatters for all the alien banks, and the results are here.

Enjoy these, and PLEASE.... share YOUR banks with your midi neighbors
(i.e. US).
