Four instances of the Angelina synthesizer, a Windows VST
plugin. I use it Bitwig via the Airwave utility. Two
instances use the same preset, the other two run two other
presets.<br>

<div>For once I'm going to be the Debbie Downer. I liked the
composition but really didn't like the "voicing". I found
it to be "trying hard to be vocal, but missing by a
country mile without any apparent awareness that it was
doing so, and thus not playing to the strengths of the
synth".<br>

<div>Usually love your stuff though Dave, and the
composition remains strong.<br>

That's the second time today that I've encountered the qualifier
"Debbie Downer", once in realtime conversation and now here, though
in different contexts. How bizarre.<br>
<br>
I always appreciate the honest appraisal. However, in my admittedly
weak - pitifullly weak - defense, the SC page includes the
disclaimer :<br>
<br>
"Fake choral music."<br>
<br>
Well, okay, it's no defense at all. I admit I liked the sounds, just
please don't cancel my subscription to Ardour, okay ?<br>
<br>
I've placed the MIDI file online here :<br>

Let the revoicing begin.<br>
<br>
Btw, the original tempo is 48 bpm, slowing to 35 bpm during the last
three chords.The file was exported from Bitwig, so I loaded it back
into the program to see how well it would import its own exported
file. It got the tracks right but didn't import the tempo
information. I loaded the MIDI file into my antique DOS sequencer,
it got the tracks and tempo but not the ritardando. Today's build of
A4 got the tracks, not the tempo. So whatever sequencer you're
using, good luck with all that.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
