- ABOUT BAD
- =========
-
- This is a rendition of Michael Jackson's "Bad". The original MIDI
- file I picked up had only a handful of tracks, but with the appropriate
- layering and creation of a couple of variations, I was able to fatten
- it out into something more elaborate. It will require a significant
- bit of MIDI horsepower to play on your rig, however. (Still, it can't
- compete with the real cut on Michael Jackson's album of the same name).
-
-
- TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
-
- 'Bad.mid' is a multitrack MIDI file. Your sequencer must be able
- to handle multi-track (Type 2) MIDI files. There are a total of 14
- tracks which are tailored to run on an E-mu Proteus/1 plus a Roland
- D-70, but should be easily adapted for use with any MIDI setup with
- sufficient horsepower.
-
- None of the tracks contain program & vol changes, which I prefer so
- that people without my specific equipment have less trouble with
- the files. I will post SysEx for the Emu Proteus/1 and Roland D-70
- only if *absolutely* necessary (takes time to prepare).
-
-
- Here's the setup for the Proteus/1 + D-70, should also give you an idea
- of what you'll need to do for your system.
