Patches/Presets - TI vs. Snow; Favorites ...

[NoLie6]

Hello,

I recently bought a snow and have some questions about the patches/preset.

Initially I thought that the snow has the same patches as the 'big' viruses. But I found out (from an TI documentation, Appendix 9) that the big ones have 17(?) ROM banks (A - Q).

The snow has only 8 banks (ROM). It has also 8 RAM banks, but e.g. bank 4 to 7 is equal between both and bank 8 of the RAM contains the tutorials.

I wonder which patches the snow has got from the big brothers?
The best? An average? Worse patches to raise the interest in a big virus?

I don't know, because I don't know too much of the TI patches.

Don't get me wrong. I do like my virus. When I am going through the presets in contrast to the whole number (512) I find very less patches which are very clean (e.g. for lead melody). Lets give you an example. I do like patches like

AllRoundXM, ButtrflyMS, CharactrMS, etc.

I also like many of the 'Pad' patches e.g. for sound carpets at the background. Arpeggiators are also cool (but why so many). Most of the other patches are very special, experimental which are hardly usable composing a song.

But maybe most of you don't use the existing patches, but creating own sounds. Ok, maybe one day I am joining you, maybe not

If someone like to, please tell me your 5(or10) patch favorites. I would like to know. I will then check if I have them on the snow too

E.g. someone of you will tell my a 'must have'-patch, is it somehow easy to (dump it at e.g. a polar) and installing it on the snow?
