Upgrade and old mididev.cfg
Hi,
Before upgrading should I save my current mididev.cfg, then replace the new one with that, so I do not have to type in all the bank and instrument names?
all best,

Re: Some orchestral music
Hi Kompozytor,
Actually there is an easy way to make the instruments that play the tone as written, but sound an octave higher or lower. Just click on Staff/transpose instrument key, then make sure...

Re: Some orchestral music
Hi Kompozytor,
Your pieces are brim full of interesting ideas, thematic, rhythmic and harmonic. I don't see why you repeat many short sections rather than developing the ideas they contain, but...

Re: Piano quartet
Hi Kompozytor,
This and your other posts contain a number of musical ideas that I find very attractive and worthy of development into a full piano quartet. My string quartet looked much like these...

Re: The Song Is You
Hi Ralph,
I played this using the Merlin Creative soundfonts. I changed the piano staves from celesta to piano. Then played it, then again. Quite simply, I love this arrangement.

Re: Symphony 1, II Love in the Ruins of Time
Hi Adrian,
Thanks for the listen. In Staff / Tranpose...instrument key, the double basses are set to sound an octave below written. Could it be that the setting doesn't carry over to different...

Re: Romance For Viola and Piano
Hi Adrian, et al,
Your viola player is quite an artist.
I envy you all your sound engineering skills. If budget didn't block my way, the engineering still would. I spent hours and hours trying to...

Re: Poor Butterfly
Hi Ralph,
There are some size rules for attachments. .not, .mid, and .zip files can be up to 1.91 MB, which is too small for most .wav, or even .mp3 files. Mp3 files are already condensed, so...

Re: Poor Butterfly
Hi Ralph,
The change I made was through section D. It was the lowest note, actually, that made the dominant sound, which on my machine is a very loud click. I'm pretty sure it is the result of my...

Re: Poor Butterfly
Hi Ralph,
I should have used the phrase "with my system." I have the Audigy 2 sound card, with which I have and still have problems, e.g., hardware synths A and B if used together produce a blue...

Re: Tentative
Hi Yenney,
I didn't get a chance to comment on your first posting, but thoroughly enjoyed it.
"Tentative" lives up to its title, I think, and the sense of indecision gives it its charm. Adrian is...

Re: Poor Butterfly
Hi rrayner,
The drums diminished a bit my enjoyment of the piece because they seemed too dominant; so I tried diminishing the volume (nv 50) and everything leapt into life. The instrumentation is...

Re: Sweet Georgia Brown
Hi Rrayner,
Enjoyed your arrangement a great deal and a number of times. Brings back a whole montage of memories starting with the 78 RPMs my parents had and (unfortunately) are long gone. A...

A bit Victorian. Agreed. The composersforum version is superior. Agreed. I very much like the music. I am not a huge fan of program music, but some of my favorite compositions are...

Re: The Santa Claus Sweater

This may sound strange with MS Wavetable. I have that disabled, so can't really tell. I've used the Merlin soundfont collection for Creative sound cards, with the Hagi flute and a legato violin...

The problem is that when I am writing a poem, that is what I would substitute for "music," and if I am painting, I would say all art aspires to be a painting. Might it not be that...
