Welcome toUncle Jack's
Megadeth sound patches and AWE64 soundfont
This is a small page I've set up just for one of the drum patches collections
I've made, like the Dream theater and the Whitesnake ones. So you'd ask "why on earth did
you put up a page just for your Megadeth ones, Unck?".
I've got a few reasons for that:
1. Megadeth is my favorite band and deserves a little tribute;
2. It's the one I was able to rip the most (2 snares, a bassdrum, a tom);
3. Megadeth IS a special band;
4. Trying to get a link on Megadeth.com (got it! yes! :^))
Well, serious stuff now. This page is divided in two sections:
Section A
The patches samples
In order to use them in your soundcard, first make sure it supports wave-sampled
patches (like Creative's AWE series). Then refer to the help files in order to know
how to import them into it. Trust me, it won't be that hard and you'll enjoy
the results! ;^) I use them on my AWE64.
Section B
The AWE 64 soundfont
As you can notice, it's just for AWE 64 sound card owners.
It's a little easier to work directly with soundfonts, because its settings (i.e. reverb) are all pre-programmed - all
you'll need to do is import them into the soundfont you're currently using (through Vienna) and import the samples you want using
the Bank Manager. Refer to the help files for further information.
