MIDIfiles for guitarists!
"The Mighty Turtle Head" by Joe Satriani
From the album "Time Machine"
Sequenced by Cesare Tirabassi
Here is my MIDI (Cakewalk 3.0) version, that can be used as a back-up band for
lone or practicing guitarists. The file should be fully GM/GS compatible, at
least it plays perfectly on my Roland SC-55.
The sequence is arranged with the following instruments:
Ch. 2 - 3 : Bass Guitar. Two different patches are assigned, to fatten a bit
the lousy SC-55 samples. One (acoustic) give some body to the
sound, while the other (fingered) some dynamic.
Ch. 5 : Cowbell
Ch. 7 - 8 : E. Guitar Rhythm. The channels are panned with a little delay to
give some spaciousness. The tracks are velocity encoded. If you
have some other module or keyboard apart a GS/GM synth, assign a
patch to be played for velocity below or equal to 100 and another
to be played for velocity above 100. The former should be a "muted"
type of e. guitar, and the latter a normal e. guitar. I use myself
a Roland U-110, with the e. guitar expansion card.
Ch. 10 : Drums. A "Power" patch is assigned. I'm not totally happy with it,
and I use myself the U-110 with the Drums expansion card. I route
the snare thru a keyboard mixer and fatten it with some gated
reverb to get better results.
Ch. 13 : Synth (slow synth strings)
The sequence is free, and can be copied to friends, colleagues and even
enemies ;-).
All I ask is to keep this text file with it and maintain it as a cakewalk file.
I would appreciate it if you have any feedback, even more if you make any
improvement to the sequence and you can email me the improved version :-).
My email is:
ctirabas@vmprofs.estec.esa.nl or
ctirabas@bitnet.estec
ctirabas@estec.esa.nl should work as well.
Have fun, and keep on strumming!
Cesare
