Using Debian Lenny here, I only saw a demos folder under

ams_sync_example_2.ams
ams_sync_simple_example.ams
They must have been left over from a much older version of AMS - which I
found out wasn't even installed! After I installed the abovementiond
version from Debian, a whole bunch of things showed up to play with.
Anyway, doesn't help the original poster if he compiled from source.
Unless there's a way to get the instruments et al to use with his
compiled version?

What distro are you running? Or did you build AMS from source?
In Debian, the sample patches are in /usr/share/doc/ams, and the one I'm talking
about is:
/usr/share/doc/ams/instruments/miniams.ams.gz
This is with:
ii ams 1.8.8~rc2-3.1 Realtime modular synthesizer for ALSA

IIRC, it is called "miniams.ams.gz", in the "instruments" directory.
If you open "Parameter View" there are presets in there and controls similar to
those on the old MiniMoogs.
