- MIDIfiles for guitarists!
-
- "The Mighty Turtle Head" by Joe Satriani
- From the album "Time Machine"
- Sequenced by Cesare Tirabassi
-
-
- Here is my MIDI (Cakewalk 3.0) version, that can be used as a back-up band for
- lone or practicing guitarists. The file should be fully GM/GS compatible, at
- least it plays perfectly on my Roland SC-55.
- The sequence is arranged with the following instruments:
-
- Ch. 2 - 3 : Bass Guitar. Two different patches are assigned, to fatten a bit
- the lousy SC-55 samples. One (acoustic) give some body to the
- sound, while the other (fingered) some dynamic.
- Ch. 5 : Cowbell
- Ch. 7 - 8 : E. Guitar Rhythm. The channels are panned with a little delay to
- give some spaciousness. The tracks are velocity encoded. If you
- have some other module or keyboard apart a GS/GM synth, assign a
- patch to be played for velocity below or equal to 100 and another
- to be played for velocity above 100. The former should be a "muted"
- type of e. guitar, and the latter a normal e. guitar. I use myself
- a Roland U-110, with the e. guitar expansion card.
- Ch. 10 : Drums. A "Power" patch is assigned. I'm not totally happy with it,
- and I use myself the U-110 with the Drums expansion card. I route
- the snare thru a keyboard mixer and fatten it with some gated
- reverb to get better results.
- Ch. 13 : Synth (slow synth strings)
-
-
- The sequence is free, and can be copied to friends, colleagues and even
- enemies ;-).
- All I ask is to keep this text file with it and maintain it as a cakewalk file.
- I would appreciate it if you have any feedback, even more if you make any
- improvement to the sequence and you can email me the improved version :-).
- My email is:
-
- ctirabas@vmprofs.estec.esa.nl or
- ctirabas@bitnet.estec
-
- ctirabas@estec.esa.nl should work as well.
-
- Have fun, and keep on strumming!
