Keyboard Magazine Patch Pages

via Petri

"I'm looking for Keyboard Magazine Patch Pages, which they published in the late 80's and early 90's in their magazine monthly, a series of cryptic charts containing parameters and numbers for certain synths, i.e. D-50, DX-7, SQ80... you name it, they had it.

There were lots of unusual and great sounds (I remember trying them out on my D50 back then) and lots of shitty sounds. However, what I'm after are the Oberheim Xpander patches published in 1987 (86-88), especially a sound called "BONONG", which was a great analog FM approximation of a large Gamelan bell. To my ears back then it sounded really great."

If anyone knows where to find them or can translate the patch for Petri, please comment or contact me directly. My contact info is on the bottom of the right section of the site.
