- ---------{{{ NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MIDI vol.1 }}}}-------
-
- Welcome to no.1 in an occasional compilation of kickin' MIDI files that will
- turn up when I can be bothered to post them.
- THEY ARE ALL GENERAL MIDI (drums on Ch.10, GMIDI prog.changes etc.) and all
- the track info such as program changes, level, fx, and pan commands are
- embedded in the tracks, so for those of you who do not YET have a GMIDI
- module/card then don't bother downloading. Don't even think about playing
- these on some crappy 8-bit soundcard either as I have incorporated a very
- clever virus into one of the files that will detect such a device and cause
- your hard drive to rotate at speeds that will cause your computer to be
- thrown from your desk due to the extreme centripetal forces involved (and
- if you believe that then you'll agree that John Major's doing a good job)
-
- So - Eight rather nice General MIDI sound files, being thus:
-
- Crazy - Seal (great drummy bit in the middle)
- Jump - Van Halen (great guitar solo towards the end)
- Sleeping Satellite - Tasmin Archer (great keyboard solo from the guy who
- used to be in It Bites - best Brit rock band ever..)
- Too Much Love - Brian May (too much hair Brian. Best Acoustic guitar solo
- at the end than you're likely to get anywhere)
- Too Funky - Georgy Michaels (great Synthy sound - well on a Sound Canvas)
- Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) - C&C Music Factory (token dance
- track; great distorted guitar)
- It's A Sin - Pet Shop Boys (Not that good but hey! they're English!)
- The Things I Saw - Karel Fialka (from the B-side to Hey Matthew. The token
- obscure track which means it's the one people'll send me mail about
- if previous experience is anything to go by)
-
- So there you have them...
- All sequenced\tweaked\re-arranged\converted etc. where appropriate on a 4Meg
- trust old Atari ST running Cubase V2.0 and a Roland SC55 Sound Canvas - the
- best GMIDI module in existence
-
- Enjoy! Abusive E-mail etc. to zchag05@ucl.ac.uk (valid until September '95)
- Go on - write.. you know you want to. Alternatively, just let those
- waves of apathy wash over you.....
-
- Cheers
