Thanks :)
It may be a limitation of MIDI, but it there any way
to make some of those
attacks (the beginning of a note) soft? It sounds really hard/harsh
otherwise. "Silent Night" should have a really smooth feel to it.
This is always a matter of taste really. I deliberately wanted to take
the soft edge off, as sometimes I think people smooth this melody out
till it's nothing by mush. However it is difficult balance to get right
and the instrument I used with the 'bite' is fairly consistent for the
whole piece, although there is a sort of acoustic illusion that
makes it seem to vary.
