I can definately hear a difference with the reverb, but it's quite
subtle.  The chorus doesn't seem to do much, tho.  I also always get
"iiwusynth: warning: chorus: speed is too low (min 687194767)!" printed
out all the time; perhaps that's something to do with it?  What are
valid ranges for the speed?

Yeah, the patch-name-getting-thingy makes no distinction between channel
10 and other channels.  I should sort it out some time.  I don't know
about the drum volumes; perhaps MusE does volume things differently for
drum tracks?  Or perhaps iiwusynth does?
