Thanks for the file !
Well, there is no reason not to try out artistic
choices suggested by
your particular instrument.
I agree. And I certainly don't want to discourage you.
Every synth player should have a go at some 'Switched on'. If only
to discover that it's not as easy as it may sound. At least not if
you want something approaching the quality of Wendy Carlos' work.
Been there myself...
IMHO for this piece, sliding the upward larger intervals results
in something that sounds overly sentimental, and that really kills
the serenity the 'Air' normally has.
Ciao,
I'm inclined to agree here. Portamento has to be used very sparingly otherwise,
apart from anything else, it sounds like you're trivialising it.
Having said that, kudos for having a crack at this - not something I'd try!

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
