WELCOME BACK!

Thanks to all the wonderful compliments on my first patch set, VIRUS-ROCK&FUSION, here is the M@ Picone Signature Set (2,0). 

I've worked long and hard and tried to take all your suggestions to heart while producing this massive size-doubling expansion to my virus library. The Access SoundDiver module is largely to thank for the completion of this work, and I STRONGLY recommend its purchase to anyone who loves to program and play Access synthesizers. The SoundDiver full version is even better. Buy it today.

In the file you downloaded, you'll find all the patches from the ROCK& FUSION set plus 128 ALL NEW SOUNDS--- I made some to compliment the first batch: better organs, more EPs, tributes to the sounds of famous players, PLUS I added all of the many requests from the TekLab list-DOZENS of pads, ROMpler type sounds to show that the virus isn't just another VA (watch your back, Roland: there are several precise reverse engineered versions of patches from your "Vintage Synth" collection here!), plus loads of stuff unlike what you'll find elsewhere in the more dance oriented collections. There are also a number of simple patches- things you could easily make yourself, but that I include because I find people enjoy having them "on hand".

Only one thing has changed with this set and that is that I expect something in return! While my patches will remain 100% COST-FREE as a tribute to the wonderful innovation and outstanding service provided by Cristoph, Marc, and the others at Access, I'm asking this time that anyone who downloads this patch set send an email "hello" to me at matman@mysticworks.com. There's nothing I enjoy more than hearing that you like or dislike my patches, and the best kind of letter tells me how you're using them.  Feel free to write with feedback and suggestions for the next release too.

Only Access has my permission to distribute these files in any commercial product. That is, they have my permission to freely use any of these patches as future "presets" (hint hint). Everyone else should ask my permission before distributing this for any profit or personal gain.

There's a LOT to listen to here, and MANY MANY of the patches have hidden intricacies behind mod, aftertouch, or after long long envelopes

ENJOY THE INFECTION

PS: Playing the the MIDI file version into your synth will OVERWRITE ALL PATCHES in BOTH your A and B user banks. Please be sure to make a backup via sysex dump or SoundDiver before you proceed with this operation.
