EAWPATS isn't Gravis Ultrasound patches. Or, more precisely, it's a
'port' of patches made for Gravis Ultrasound, but it's not the ones
that were included with the soundcard from Gravis. EAWPATs was a
fan-made collection of patches designed to improve on the default
patches for Ultrasound (and EAWPATS.SF2 is a soundfont that copies
them into a format that could be used by the Sound Blaster AWE32 and
later other devices.

Guess I got confused while looking for it. I found Ultrasound pathces,
but they were GM.

TL;DR: if you want to replicate the original sound of the Ultrasound,
don't use these. Try
https://archive.org/details/GravisUltrasoundClassicPachSetV1.6 if
that's your goal.

This worked perfectly!!! Thank you. I couldn't find them.

I thought something was up. I learned of the GUS when a friend had it and
was playing Heretic with it. Something didn't sound right in GZDoom.

That's when I ran out and got the TB Rio. No way was I going to go
without wavetable synth after that.

For me, it was "The Ultrasound Experience", a mixed CD-Audio/Data CD
that Gravis used to advertise their sound-cards. It was one of those
cheapo-CDs you used to find on display right next to the registers,
and I actually picked it up more because -as proud owner of a new
CD-ROM drive- I was more interested in it as a CD then really caring
about the soundcard itself. I'd heard about the GUS --mostly in
relation to Doom-- but it wasn't high on my priorities.

But the promotion definitely worked, and it wasn't very long after I
listened to that CD that I bought a Gravis Ultrasound Max. It also had
a bunch of neat software (my first real introduction to demo-scene
stuff), as well as patches and drivers for that were actually more
up-to-date than what I got with the hardware itself.

I still have the CD-ROM. ;-)

Nice, they had a BIN/CUE available for my images archive!
