             Several patches are included in the MTE package that  demon
        strate  various features of the MT-32 unavailable from the  front 
        panel.   Below  are listed several of these and why they  may  be 
        interesting.  They are not intended to be particularly useful  in 
        and of themselves, but may trigger your imagination.
        
        KickBass
             KickBass  is a combination of the Kick drum PCM with a  bass 
        timbre.   By combining the two you never have to worry about  not 
        having  your bass and kick "fused" close enough together  -  it's 
        guaranteed!  Don't try to use this for bass solos, however...
        
        PlnkMoog
             PlnkMoog  is  a bass type patch that uses  similar  partials 
        wired together with different structures.  It is a good timbre to 
        start with to see the effect of structure on sound, as well as to 
        start playing with filters.  Change the filter characteristics on 
        a single partial, muting the others and see what happens!
        
        WildThng
             Wild  Thing is a weird patch that demonstrates some  of  the 
        features you might not commonly use.  All but one of the partials 
        has the pitch wheel sensitivity turned off, and the one turned on 
        comes  through  only via the ring modulator.   Try  loading  this 
        patch using MTE and then switch to a controller keyboard, play  a 
        note,  and  see how the pitch wheel  changes  frequency  content.  
        Also, the modulation rates for the LFO are all different.  If you 
        change the mod wheel using your controller keyboard you will  get 
        a lively erratic variation.
