Re: patches in excel

2007-02-03 by Mark Rauch

Howdy,

 Speaking of patches, back when the 101 was new, keyboard, or 
Mlectronic Musician would print patch data in their mags every once 
in a while for DX-7s 101s ,etc. The one that REALLY stuck out was 
called "log drum". If anyone has the numbers to enter that patch, I 
sure would like to get them. About half of my old keyboard mags got 
soaked in my garage 15 years ago and I fear that the patch data was 
in one of those ruined magazines. Anybody?
