Greetings,
Fellow Linux audio user Folderol is having problems sending to this
list, so he asked me to forward this message:
Subject: Something new (at last!)
Last Friday after work I tried to develop a new yoshimi voice patch. I never
succeeded in getting what I wanted but I did manage to produce a very nice lead
sound. I then started fiddle with the settings in Rosegarden to make another
stab at getting it to record MIDI from two keyboards on different ports
directly to two different tracks, and sounding two different yoshimi voices. By
the time I managed to do this it was no longer Friday, but the early hours
of Saturday.
I wasn't the least bit tired so started to noodle around with my left hand
playing a choir sound, and the right hand playing my new lead sound on the other
keyboard. I thought what I was playing didn't sound too bad so hit record.
However it seems I didn't notice the magic pixie dust falling around me, and
just left the recording and went to bed for a few hours.
Much later that day, I had what was going to be a quick listen before scrubbing
it. Instead, with just a top-and-tail, and one chord change I stuck it up on
Soundcloud. I was very pleased with the response!
However, the tune was not done with me yet, and Wednesday evening I used
exactly the same method to record an intro, and a very short insert near the
end. I did the absolute minimum of editing to make it all fit - I didn't want
to accidentally shake out any of that pixie dust.
Finally, in response to a comment I received on the original, I added a very
deep, subdued bass line. Due to the free-form nature of the melody, this was
actually the hardest part of all, and took a lot of patching and retries.
Anyway, here is the final result. I hope you like it. The name of my new lead
sound is also the title of the track

Both the song and the sound are nice. The solo sound (at some parts of the
KB) reminds me of the "flute" sound we used to get from an electric reed
organ (Wurlitzer with capacitor pickups... metal reeds at 400Vdc over a
ground plate direct into the tube pre... it was old in the 60s).

Thank you Folderol, and Dave. Your tune is a poem.

Hi Will1
I love the solo sound! You could have just named it Pixie Dust, instead of
an uninspired "Solo". :-)
the piece reminds me of some 80s quiet synth music or the meditative music
you sometimes get to hear in sauna. Since it is night just now, it fits very
well. Beyond that, it's much to content and pieceful for my liking. :-) Still
nicely played, good flow! Thanks for sharing, even though it seems to be
slightly challenging right now.
Warmly yours
Julien

Wooo! I'm back :)
According to my ISP LAU has extreme rules for rejecting e-mail :(
Anyway, thanks to Dave for forwarding this for me, and to everyone who replied.
Yes, Julien, I was expecting you to consider it not miserable enough. LOL

*chuckle*
linuxaudio.org indeed is tricky. If I reply to Linux audio lists, I
often replay not only to the list ;). Usually it's frowned upon to reply
to the list + directly to list members, but IMO needed for
linuxaudio.org lists.
Julien some time ago forwarded a mail for me, when my provider's server
was blackhole listed.

On Fri, 2012-10-12 at 18:29 -0400, Dave forwarded Will's music:
I like the "Zawinul style", but don't like the song's "edge",
since
sometimes it tends to "overturn from Zawinul style to an esoteric music
style". Still a lovely song. For my taste a little bit to close to
tootling.
I like Weather Report's "The Orphan", from the vinyl "8:30". The
choir
are ten members of "the West Los Angeles Christian Academy Children's
Choir". The ambiance of Zawinul's chord sound is similar to the one of
your lead sound.
Song #55:
