DLS - Where do I find DLS Banks?

* Third-party companies produce DLS banks that are compatible with the Montego
  II. For example, Sonic Implants is a source for purchasing high quality DLS
  patches and banks. You can visit them at www.sonicimplants.com.  

- With an editor that supports the DLS format like 'Awave', you can create 
  your own DLS banks. You can also convert to DLS, from other bank formats, 
  such as Creative SoundFonts.  

- Microsoft DirectX 7.0 features the Microsoft Software Synthesizer. This
  implements a Roland GM DLS Level 1 bank.  If you have DirectX 7.0 or 
  greater installed, you can locate this bank and download it to the Santa
  Cruz.

Here are the locations:
  Windows 95/NT 4.0: C:WindowsSystemGm16.dls 
  Windows 98: C:WindowsSystem32DriversGm.dls 

- For more information on the DLS Level 1 Specification, visit the MIDI
  Manufacturer's Association at www.midi.org
