I'm always impressed with what your music does with Yoshimi. When I use
it, I always just open it up and try out some presets, but there are
some nice sounds with it. I really enjoyed the run at the end, that was
very tasty. It reminded me a lot of Garth Hudson and some of the cool
synth things he would do with The Band. In fact, now that I think about
it, a lot of the sounds of this piece really remind me of Garth Hudson's
The Band patches.
I really want to participate in another KVR Music Cafe Contest again. I
need to get on that, maybe after the end of the this month!
Thanks for sharing!,

My entry is a cover... of Ride Of The Valkyries (and you don't get much angrier
than those!) I started with a couple of free on-line MIDI files, but wasn't
happy with either of them, so took the best one, then modified it with bits of
the other one, along with comparative listening to actual recordings (no two of
these were even mostly similar), finally getting creative with my own ideas.
It's all Yoshimi... instrument patches in no particular order:
Synth Strings * 2
Full Strings
Wet Brass
Wet Brass2
Prophesy
Post Horn
Clarinet
Yet Another Flute
{percussion}
Crash Full 2
Hugh's Kit
Slow Cymbal (created just for this)
Ride Crash
Soft Kick
You can find it here (it won't stay there much after this month)
