I haven't seen any patches posted yet, so I will post a few in a few
days. Unfortunately, the Yamaha DX-7 owners will have to help each
other out, and post their own patches because their method of creating
sounds is very different from the VCO/VCF method.

Scott Aurenz (ihnp4!uiucdcs!uiucuxc.Uiuc.ARPA!aurenz) mentioned that
it might be more useful sharing synthesis techniques than the patches
themselves. I'm all for it, but I haven't seen much help in the synth
programming area on this newsgroup. BTW, Scott also mentioned that
	"if you use ~1 Hz fixed-frequency carriers (on the DX-7)
	you can get some good chorusing effects"
I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or not for you DX-7 owners, but
I thought I'd bring it up anyway. Anyway, thanks to all who responded.
