Donations are NOT tax deductable. No donations collected will be returned. Some Useful Information About My Work Midi Music is a song that has been recorded by some kind of computer, either in real time (someone playing a keyboard) or step sequenced (note by note, rest by rest) or a combination of both. Unlike an audio recording (wav, MP3, etc.), MIDI songs can be changed- by assinging different instruments, muting certain tracks, moving the instruments to the left or right, even by adding or removing entire parts. The songs here have been mainly done by step sequence to get timeing right, then by "punching" in parts that need a live touch. Most of them are origional "performances" by myself, along with a few that I've found out there on the internet and decided to change. Like a live performance, each time you play a MIDI song, it can be different- especially when you play them on different computers. The capabilities of your computer's sound card ultimately determines how the song sounds. I have a SoundBlaster LIVE Gold sound card from Creative Labs on my machine and have chosen the sounds that, well, sound best on it. Your sound card may or may not be able to handle all the various controllers in the MIDI file that bring the song to life, or may not be able to generate enough sounds at any one time. This is what is known as Polyphonics. A 32 note polyphonic card can generate upto 32 notes at one time. If a part in a song requires a piano to sound 10 notes, the bass 1, drums 5, strings 8, and Horns 10, then something is going to be left out on the 32 note polyphonic card- or worse some cards may not sound any of the instruments at all. I do like to lay down multiple tracks in my work, like the masters of electronic music from long ago. Having 4 tracks for my strings allows me to place each part where ever I want: Cellos on the left, violas on the right, etcetera. I even tend to "Hocket" (a term I first heard from Wendy Carlos on her "Secrets Of Systhesis" album) single parts onto multiple tracks to make the sound jump around the stereo listening field. Oh, one last thing: did I mention that I can't read sheet music at all? All I've done here is purely by listening to other performances and working out the parts. Enjoy! |
