;NOTE: The OPL patches are still work-in-progress (aren't all patches?)
;The MTOPL4OP.PAT is actually just the GMOPL4OP.PAT, so 4op voices are
;not recommended until I make a real one (having this one supplied keeps
;R2 happy when you issue a bank1 switch -- else R2 will error out with
;*DOS* error 2 (not 0702h as it should, since it's a patch-related error)
;Drums are real difficult to simulate with synthesis-- real hard. I'll
;see if I can't do something better by next time.

;OPL patches
;-bank 0 are in GM order
;-bank 1 are in MT-32 order (actually, anything you put in there)
;-default file extension of all files is .PAT
;-entries are 2op filename followed by 4op filename (do not add .ext)
;-[end] required at end of file
;-this file _may_ be accessed anytime R2 caches patches
;-[dir=] must immediately follow [bank=] to locate the patches
;-additional [dir=]'s may be used as necessary within a bank

;General Format
;-position numbers are 0-based
;-counting number are 1-based
;-semi-colon in column 0 used to indicate comment line (ignored)
;-printable ASCII with CR/LF line termination recommended
;-non-ASCII should be limited to comment lines
;-numbers must be base-10
;-case is NOT significant
;-lines can be any length up to 250 (less than 80 recommended)
;-patch names must be on separate lines
;-patch names end at first whitespace, or 8 characters, whichever comes first

;--------------------------------------
;GM-L1 ordering of patch# to instrument
;(specifically patch# to PATCH filename)

[bank=0]        ;bank=0 required and indicates following are all GM-ordered
[dir=DEFAULT]   ;if =DEFAULT, eVar PATDIR= locates following patches

GMOPL2OP        ;2op always first followed by 4op
GMOPL4OP        ;--that's it, only these two files used for bank

;--------------------------------------
;MT-32 ordering of patch# to instrument

[bank=1]        ;bank=1 is optional, but typically is used for MT-32 patches
[dir=DEFAULT]

MTOPL2OP        ;2op always first followed by 4op
MTOPL4OP        ;--that's it, only these two files used for bank
[end]
