- Hi Garik,
-
- Over the years I've done quite a few JMJ sequences. Not all of them are on
- my web-site. As soon as I have time, I will go back over all the rest of my
- JMJ SONGS/BSEQ's and replay/sequence them. I have to admit that his earlier
- stuff was best, but you can find the following JMJ's SONGS from my
- site....all played/sequenced on the i3....which means they use customised
- PROGRAMS.
-
- Magnetic Fields II (I replayed/sequenced this one very recently...used
- panned percussion, and a special PROGRAM which I created for then lead aprt,
- which when played with AFFT + BEND, sounds very much like the IMAGES
- arrangement)
-
- Oxygene IV (Note the use of the DELAY EFFECT)
-
- Equinoxe V (Uses STYLE patterns for Drum/Perc!)
-
- Chronologie II (No I didn't play the verrrry fast part of the SOLO at the
- end....I sequenced it!!!!)
-
- Chronologie IV (I did play the end SOLO this time, but it's not
- perfect!...more of an arrangment)
-
- Rendezvous II ( Only thing missing is the reprise after the Lazer harp
- SOLO..spent a lot of time programming that sound!)
-
- Calypso I (The full version, except I've shortened the Perc/sound effect
- interlude, because it just seemed impossible to emulate it all......the AI2
- Steel Drum sample is fantastic!!!)
-
- Industrial Revolutions, Overture & Indutrial I, II & III (If you are
- wandering, the PERCUSSION did take forever to get right!!!!!)
-
- I have done many more of JMJ's work, but as I say I need to
- replay/resequence them again.
-
-
- Mark..........Hope you enjoy Mag II!....don't forget if you MUTE TRK01, and
- select it, you can play all the lead parts yourself! All program, pan,
- volume, FX changes are automatically sent from TRK09 via the same MIDI channel.
