required to synthesize the music. A sample patchset is available through the wiki at

.rockbox
directory in the root of
your player. There should now be a

directory, with the patchset
directory containing several
.pat

.cfg
files. Just select a MIDI file with
either the
.mid
or
.midi
extension in the file browser to start playback.
