Yes; while they don't appear to use any special timbres, the patch.001 is still
there. :)

Perhaps -1 means "loop once" then? The game gets the loop signal, and it's up to
the game itself to tell the sound server to play again?

Before. it happens when the sound server initializes.
Actually, looking at the output of HQ, it uses the "v-1" patch.001 format. Which
basically means it's not being recognised. Hmm.

It's possible they use a different patch format. If it's not v0 or v1, then
something different.
I brought my MT32 into work today; I'll be hooking it up.
