MIDI File Work Started

I have already completed Carpet Crawlers in MIDI back in 1998.  At this point in the project, most of the work on the MIDI is complete.  Now, it's time to start assigning the correct instruments and re-working some of the MIDI tracks.  Specifically, Steve' guitar part (want to try using the MIDI GUITAR with a METAL SLIDE) and PC's drum part (with the new Gretch drum samples).

I will be putting some examples up here soon.  I can't get over how having the right instruments can make such a big difference.  The MIDI guitar track for the 12 string electric sounds really good with the RIC 12 string samples.  And the home-made RMI samples bring Mr. B's part to life.

Carpet Crawlers

This 10th track of the Lamb Laid Down on MIDI is a wonderful, airy sounding ballad.  Thick with RMI piano, 12 string RICKENBACHER and Steve Hackett Slide Guitar.  Did you know that the bass part on this track was played on the RMI piano?  Huh, if you did, FANTASTIC, if not, you learned something new today.
