Thanks Garry.
I do appreciate that there is a low response rate and accept that this
is just the way people are (it's exactly the same for things like
charities etc.).
I am also delighted that much patch set was thought to be good enough
for inclusion into the current Zyn.
I think it's just that I was especially pleased with the latest ones
and the way they livened up Ghost train, so came down with rather a
bump!

My apologies, Will, for the lack of feedback.
I have added your new patches to the others in your excellent
collection. But hey, install zyn ( or yoshimi ) and you get the William
Godfrey Collection included! For a good reason. Some kudos there I
think. :-)
And I don't think your contribution to the testing of Yoshimi went
unnoticed; certainly not by me.
It makes me wonder what the problem is ( and am I guilty myself? ):
In an off-list email Dave Philips commented on the lack of feedback he
receives about his music.
Bruce McCosar ( whose blog in included in PlanetLinuxMusicians ) once
wrote that despite having several albums on Jamendo with thousands of
downloads and tens of thousands of listens he'd received zero feedback.
I've seen over a thousand downloads from my site in the last year ( not
bad for an amateur-crap-artist who makes no effort to promote himself )
and I have a big fat contact tab there, but how many people have clicked
on it? two, and neither of them actually mailed me, not even to slag me off!
So I understand why you may be a little dismayed; but as Arnold says,
checkout your download statistics, and take cold comfort from what is
written there!
Best wishes, Garry. I might not have much clue about programming, but
I have had a lot of
fun stress-testing zyn and friends.
This has had the side effect of prodding me to create some more voice
patches, and convert an old tune of mine to entirely Zyn voicing - it
had been a mixture of hardware synths and Zyn.
The latest version of the tune is at:

The very first sound you hear is my new 'Metal Drips' and the lead
is 'Super Square'. There is also 'Percussion Organ' but it's mixed
with
another sound so it's not too discernable.
All three of these are attached, and as usual, my entire collection
(with some other new goddies) is at:

Not a single comment :(
This is very disappointing.
