impressive. Nice mixtures of styles and the sax is

Thanks. I appreciate that.
A while back when my QY-22 broke I've tried to
replace it by MMA [1]. I
hope to contribute some examples by submitting the mma files for "in a
sentimental mood" (Duke) and "Spain" (Chick Corea) but i got stuck with
customizing /slowJazz1Walk/ and actually rehearsing ;) - I'm not sure
about copyright issues either..
Yeah, copyright issues. A black hole of confusion. So long as no one
makes a big deal of this I supply a bunch of song files marked "for
educational purposes only". All I can suggest is that folks dl this
package while it is available :)
Please do finish the changes and send them to me. The library, for the
most part, really needs to be tweaked. I just don't have time or
knowledge of all the styles to do a great job.
FWIW: I've imported the MMA generated midi file
into rosegarden and
ardour3 & `ghostess-jackmidi /usr/lib/dssi/fluidsynth-dssi.so`. Both
worked fine and it's easy for playing/recording (MIDI control); although
the latter combination is a bit edgy ;)
For Cedars I used the -T switch in the latest MMA in combination with
timidity to create separate tracks for each instrument. I imported the
resulting tracks into audacity and fiddled with them there. For a few
tracks I dumped the timidity generated stuff and digitally recorded a
keyboard. Add in the sax ... and there you go.
