Still, I had quite bit of fun with this :) When I saw 4 tracks in the MIDI file I was expecting SATB, which would have enabled me to use choir sounds that best match those ranges. However, you really need to have a stern talk with your singers Dave. They were walking all over each other's ranges quite outrageously. Indeed, I'm surprised there weren't fisticuffs! The compromise I worked out was to use 'Another Choir' for track 1, 'Soft Ahh' for tracks 2 & 4, 'Boy Choir' for track 3. This still wasn't ideal as the lower notes lacked body, so I made a 5th track from a merge of all the others, shaved off the top octave or so, and set it to 'Smooth'. This can make quite a nice Mmmm choir. Here is the final track along with the Rosegarden file and yoshi/zyn patchset. (you'll see I was able to reinstate the ritardando). http://www.musically.me.uk/Coral-2.ogg http://www.musically.me.uk/Coral-2.rg http://www.musically.me.uk/Coral-2.xmz I'll leave these files up for a couple of weeks or so. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
