- ABOUT CLARDLUN
- ==============
-
- This is a rendition of Claude Debussy's "Claire De Lune" for solo piano.
- I've encountered two versions of this piece in my travails, and believe
- this version to be better, by far, than the other.
-
- I have it voiced using a soft Rhodes keyboard sound, but you can use
- practically any sound you would like -- acoustic or synthetic. The warm
- tones of a Rhodes really bring the expressive character of the song out,
- however. [Incidentally, this sounds like a live performance, perhaps
- edited, and is *definitely* not a stale transcription of the piece from
- sheet music.]
-
-
- TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
-
- 'ClarDLun.mid' is a multitrack MIDI file. If your sequencer cannot
- handle multi-track (Type 2) MIDI files, use 'ClarDLun.md1' instead,
- which is Type 1. Either way, there's a single track of acoustic piano,
- so this should be easy to get this song going on any MIDI rig.
-
- For my synths (Roland D-70 and Emu Proteus/1), here's my setup -- I
- can choose whether I want to use an Ac. Piano sound or the Rhodes (I
- prefer the Rhodes, and that's what's made it onto tape).
-
-
- Track #1 plays on MIDI channel #2 of the D-70.
-
-
- ROLAND D-70 SETUP
- =================
- Channel #1 -- GrandPf Sw(1) patch with vol=127 and pan=0. *
- Channel #2 -- Rhodes1(3) patch with vol=127 and pan=0.
-
- * - The piano track must be played back one octave higher for use
- with the D-70's Acoustic Piano patch. For other synths, this
- should not be necessary.
-
-

- me at bert@netcom.com for questions and comments. For those who want
- to hear what this song sounds like on my MIDI gear, you can send $7 to
