Yamaha FB-01 MIDI.DAT Patch 1.0
for ORIGIN Systems, Inc. Ultima VI - The False Prophet
======================================================

Background
----------
The ORIGIN Systems, Inc. 1990 release Ultima VI: The False Prophet
for IBM PC/Tandy uses a text file MIDI.DAT for assigning instruments
when "Roland MT-32 / MIDI" has been selected during the game's
installation process. Letting the player to select instruments for
each song in the game is similar than previous Ultimas had on the
Apple ][.

The MIDI.DAT shipped with the game contains instrument selections
for each song for the Roland MT-32 sound module's preset sounds.

About this patch
----------------
MIDI.FB contains instrument selections for the Yamaha FB-01 sound
module. This selection of instruments has been done manually by
selecting a suitable instrument available.

As the Yamaha FB-01 can only provide a selection of the first 48
instruments (ROM1/BANK3) via normal MIDI program changes, not all
factory instruments were available for creating this patch.

In addition, due to FB-01's polyphony limitations, "single" mode
has been chosen for this patch.

Installation
------------
- Copy MIDI.FB to the game directory (C:\ULTIMA6)
- Backup the original MIDI.DAT
- Copy MIDI.FB to MIDI.DAT
- Run INSTALL.EXE and select "Roland MT-32 / MIDI" for music hardware
- Select configuration #17 (single) from FB-01's front panel
  (please see page 23, Yamaha FM-01 Owner's Manual for details)
- Run the game
